Field toggle

Version: Free.

Why this type

Clear on/off without radio or checkbox. Same boolean in data as yesno. Good for frequent mode toggles.

When to use

• Enable overlay, autoplay, section dark mode
• showWhen on a neighbor boolean
• Quick flag without "Yes/No" copy

Tips

Classic MODX yes/no use yesno. Value is still boolean, not a string.

Similar types

• yesno for familiar yes/no
• checkbox when the option needs an explicit label
