how to set CheckBoxList defaults

mikeb

i can't find anywhere how to set defaults on a checkboxlist.

the forms page only specifies other inputs including select, radio, checkbox. setDefaultValue('val'); does not work with checkboxlist, and I can't see any methods in the CheckboxList.php class or MultiChoiceControl.php

any suggestions?
thanks

This works for sure:

$form->setDefaults(['checkboxListName' => [one => 0, two => 1]]);

Or https://api.nette.org/…Control.html#…, but you need use array I guess.

thanks, but it doesn't work for me. I'm trying like this:

$form->setDefaults([$a_field => ["option-2"=>'1']]);

and get this error:

Uncaught exception 'Nette\InvalidArgumentException' with message 'Value '1' are out of allowed set ['option-1', 'option-2'] in field...

i think its generated by line 63: https://github.com/…eControl.php
but i can't yet follow the problem or see where ‘Value 1’ in that error is coming from
and setDeafultValue doens't work with my array either…

all ideas welcome
???

And you tried without 1?

$form->setDefaults(['checkboxListName' => ['option-1', 'option-2']]);

YES! that works

$form->setDefaults([$a_field => ["option-2"]]);
