I've created a check box list with this input values:

Code:

Vino italiano=={{vinoit}}||Vino estero=={{vinoes}}||Liquori e distillati=={{dist}}||Alimentari=={{alim}}||Delicatessen=={{delic}}||Attrezzature=={{attr}}

"Vino italiano=={{vinoit}}" is configured as default value.
In my mind I figured that the result will be:

• "Vino italiano" check box checked by default in the edited document;
• Content of {{vinoit}} outputted on the page (because of the default checked box);
• Nothing on the page if I uncheck all the check boxes.

I was wrong: it outputs "Vino italiano==contents of chunk" on the page,  the "Vino italiano" check box is not checked by default (if I check it the page output is the content of chunk, so it's right) and everytime I uncheck all the check boxes it starts outputting "Vino italiano==contents of chunk" again.

What is wrong, this beaviour or my expectations?

Everything is fine if I use "Value" instead of "Name==value" in input value. Basically I can't declare by default a value from those I've declared like "Name==value".

MODx version is 0.9.2.1

PS: mmm... I think I've broken around one hundred grammatical rules of English. A record.
If you need I'll explain further.

The parser will translate any chunks it finds into their represented values.

The problem is not the chunk... I know, I've done better if I chopped that thing  out of the example...

Leave chunks aside, it works perfectly, this is not the problem.

The problem is that I can't check the first check box by default, 'cause the default area doesn't understand "Name==Value" as "check the Name box and use Value as output".

What happens if you just put the value of the checkbox you want to be checked by default to the default value field? Like {{vinoit}} for example.

[kudolink]

No check box is checked but the TV outputs {{vinoit}} as I would.

Attention: this may seem a good behaviour (the {{vinoit}} chunk is visible by default, in effects) but it scrambles up my Ditto filters in another page, because the TV is not recognized as "{{vinoit}}" (that checkbox is unchecked, after all).

Needing that type of filter, I rethinked the management of that multi-checkbox TV in an array of different TVs with one check box.

But I'm still curious on how to accomplish the right kind of behaviour.
