checkbox
Checkboxes on mobile app forms offer a straightforward way to make selections, especially for multiple options, enhancing usability and interaction.
The component is used in a jig.default inside of a form component and supports single- and multiple-selection options. The checkbox's initial checkbox status and required checkbox status can be set.
Some properties are common to all components, see Common component properties for a list and their configuration options.
