Field yesno

Version: Free.

Why this type

The yes/no control MODX editors already know. The section stores a yes or no value. For a simple yes or no it takes less space than radio.

When to use

• "Published", "Show on homepage"
• showWhen with value true or false
• Legacy schemas that used yesno TVs

Tips

Switch UI use toggle. Multiple labeled options need select, not yesno.

Similar types

• toggle for PrimeVue switch
• checkbox for a single unnamed flag

  "name": "visible",
  "type": "yesno",
