Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
I’m quite new to Appian and noticed an alignment issue within one of my interfaces. I wanted to ask whether this can be fixed or if it’s a known issue with this function.
The alignment between the text and the checkbox seems a little off (I’m seeing the same issue with a!toggleField() as well), and I haven’t been able to fix it myself.
a!toggleField()
Does anyone know of a workaround for this, or is this a known bug?

It works perfectly.Seems to be a browser rendering issue. Could you try using a different browser and adjusting the zoom/DPI settings? Also, which version of Appian are you currently on?
Tried different browsers (background: Microsoft Edge, foreground: Google Chrome) and different zoom levels, but the behavior is still the same.
Appian version: 26.3
This doesn’t seem to be expected behavior. It’s not reproducible on my end across any Appian 26.3 instances. I’d recommend raising a support ticket with Appian to get this investigated further.
Checking in with my confirmation that it seems to behave as we should expect:
(this is in Chrome / windows 11)
{ a!booleanCheckboxField( choiceLabel: "Choice 1" ), a!booleanCheckboxField( choiceLabel: "Choice 2" ), a!booleanCheckboxField( choiceLabel: "Choice 3" ), a!booleanCheckboxField( choiceLabel: "Choice 4" ), a!booleanCheckboxField( choiceLabel: "Choice 5" ) }
Shubham Aware What OS and Browser are you using?
this is Edge side-by-side with Chrome, both set to zoom at 100%, aligned so the components line up exactly, with a box drawn to allow easy comparison of the margins above/below the words in the checkbox choices relatve to the checkbox borders themselves.
Patrick Ludewig , does your site have any custom fonts configured, etc? That's the only thing I can think of (beyond browser-level settings that I don't really fathom) which could be having any effect on the rendering you're seeing.

Cool, thanks for verifying. Go ahead and give a "verify" to me and/or Shubham Aware though, we crave those Community Brownie Points
