Apparently Checkbox fields are always given a Default Value of False. It would be useful to be able to specify True/False in the Type definition. I know I can write a Rule for “Entity Created” to set the default value. But I am concerned that this may not work predictably with duplicating entities. ---

This request sort of slipped by when it was posted. I think it is an important addition and was wondering if there was any plan to address this? As @Matt_Blais said, you can use automations for this but I feel that is a bit too ‘hacky’. ---

Is there an update on this request? Seems like a trivial thing but I think it is actually a pretty useful setting at the fundamental field level. ---
