How do i tag the checkbox on the word document? I mean that for passing text on the word document it is tagged as ###tag###, so would it be the same for checkboxes?

Instead of passing "Yes", please pass "on". Ex: if(ri!isbool,"On","No")

Hi Vamsi,

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you give me some more detail or an example?

This is not about MS Word documents. Use this instead

But his plugin is very basic. I am not sure whether it can check checkboxes.

There is some plugins available which might help you.

Hi Apoorva,

Can you try with placing "on" for the checkbox filed as value.

Thanks,

Vamsi Krishna

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for taking an interest in this.

The template document is a word document. It is just plain text. I am writing the values of text pv variables to the doc using ###tag### but also have fields with checkboxes in the word document which i would like to fill through Appian itself.

Also attaching the template document
