Description

The check box input widget allows for the capturing of data of type boolean.

The widget allows for binding to a basic data type variable directly or to an object instance attribute.

The title is specified as a key to a lang file entry and is required. A tooltip can also be specified as a key to a lang file entry but is optional. Visibility bindings are also supported.

A new addition in version 1.57.0 (specific to the new UI) is the description attribute. The description attribute works similarly to the title in that it is specified as a key to a lang file entry, however, its purpose is to allow for additional information related to an input and will appear beneath the input.
