I have a checkbox field with no items. The user will simply check if they want to mark the selection as applying to them. For example "Do you smoke?". I do not want a Yes/No. If they smoke they check it off. When I do this my admin email shows no value when the box is checked.
How can I get some value returned that indicates the user checked the box?

No one seems to know this answer. It has been raised before. No reply. Anyone know how to send a checkbox valkue thru email?

Ok try this:

Edit the checkbox field. Set the Item from the checkbox fields like this:

Yes|

If they select the box, Yes will be sent. Otherwise nothing will be sent.
Works ok for me

Thanks 'jgodek'

I'd been searching all over to find a solution to this.

I've tried a few things to no avail so far?!

I've also tried a lot of possible solutions, googled fot hours and came to the conclusion that is a bug. It's simply not possible.

It's neither a bug nor is it "impossible": you are using the wrong field to achieve this.
If you want a "yes/no" answer you should be using a "Radio Group" and adding the values like this:Checkboxes on the other hand, as the HTML standard dictates, will only send a value when they are checked - so having a "No" value being sent when a checkbox is unchecked is something that doesn't work on this type of field; that's why radioboxes exist in HTML.
Due to RSForm! Pro's flexible nature, with some PHP coding, you could add a script that sets a default "No" value for checkboxes that aren't checked (upon form processing).

Or by using the following values:

Yes[c]
No
