I used the add field button on a form in base that already has a lot of controls designed from a table. I had added the new field to the table to be used in the form. When I add the field, it doesn’t respond like the other controls. It is a checkbox with a label. First, the checkbox is on the left of the label whereas the other controls it’s on the right. I cannot ctrl-select the checkbox to move it separately from the label. It only selects the entire control, and I cannot ctrl-select the label field either. There is no ungroup option in the rt clk menu. I’ve noticed this is the same for any control I replace the checkbox with. I have tried every option I can find. Can you please help, I just want to add a new control / field to the form / db in the same format as the existing ones.
A checkbox has its own label on the right side. You can’t delete it because it is part of the checkbox control. Just keep it blank and add a label control wherever you want.
In the bottom tool bar I am clicking “Add field”. Then I select the field I just added to the table from the selection box, which is a boolean type. Then the control is added to the form in the condition described, a checkbox to the left of a label. It appears similar to other controls that were automatically added to the form when I initially made the form with the form creator when I selected boolean type variables. Except the control I just added cannot be edited as far as being able to select the checkbox and label independently and format them independently like all of the other checkbox controls.
The title is integrated in the checkbox properties. If you want to get a separate label you have to chose a label field. After you have created a label field you could switch to the checkbox properties, remove the content from “Title” and connect to “Label field” if you want.
