Checkbox data not being sent in submission
I have 3 checkboxes in my form. They are setup like below. When I check any of the boxes, none of the data is being sent to the submission. All the rest of the form fields are sending the data fine
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="pm_session" value="true" /> <perch:label for="pm_session">PM Session RSVP</perch:label>
The data received in the submission. The 3 checkboxes are located directly before Special Requirements.

Does it make a difference if you add the missing
labelattribute?Where are you suggesting adding the label attribute? To the <perch:input /> tag?
Yes, that's right.
For example: <perch:input type="checkbox" id="pm_session" value="true" label="PM Session RSVP" />
--or--
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="pm_session" value="true" > <perch:label for="pm_session">PM Session RSVP</perch:label></perch:input>
Bottom line is you need both tags for this to work and display properly
The label in the input tag for the data to be collected The label tag to show the label on the form
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="pm_session" value="true" label="PM Session RSVP" /> <perch:label for="pm_session">PM Session RSVP</perch:label>
Thank you for your assistance.
Just to clarify. Did something change in the forms app to where the following would no longer work
<perch:input type="checkbox" id="credit" value="true" /><perch:label for="cecredit">I would like Credit</perch:label>
This is in a form of mine from when I first started using Perch, and it collected data no problem.
Thanks for the insight.
As per the documentation, the label attribute on the input tag is for displaying the result in the admin. It's completely different from the label tag which is for the HTML label.
This hasn't changed.
Thanks again Drew.
