#### Checkbox custom fields on existing records
When a `True / False` checkbox custom field is enabled, records that already existed have no value for it at all, neither true nor false. In a [data table](ay-start-form-data-tables.md) column for that field those records show nothing (an "indeterminate" value).
Once the checkbox is set or cleared on a record and the record is saved, the data table shows true or false for it like any other record.

The internal Translation Key for each field is displayed in the Customize form beneath the current translation of that field's title to simplify finding which translation item needs to be changed.
