I'm trying to pass (from an external system) data into a 'form'. I've got a majority of the data populating, but the "Image Checkboxes" I am using, I seem to be having issues with.
I've been trying to replicate what I've seen on other forms, but I seem to be running into issues.
All I'm looking for is how to correctly check 1 or multiple "Image Checkboxes".
The following links are not getting me the desired result, I'm sure I'm close, I just need something tweaked!
My attempt, shown in the examples below, should be checking the 'first or second' item in each of the image checkboxes to my knowledge, however nothing is getting checked!

https://form.jotform.com/200206038642949?input16[1]=true
https://form.jotform.com/200206038642949?PoolProducts[0]=true
https://form.jotform.com/200206038642949?PoolProducts[1]=true
Please help!

Hi @dantuma!
I would like to apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing, I am more than happy to assist you with your inquiry.
After some testing, I am seeing that it may not be possible to pass these URL parameters into your form because you are using the trademark symbol in your checkboxes.
I went ahead and made a clone of your form and was able to successfully select one of the checkboxes after taking the trademark symbol off. This is the URL I utilized. Feel free to follow the link and use this sample URL to assist you: https://form.jotform.com/200217228182951?PoolProducts=Pool
Please do get back to us and let us know if you were able to achieve your objective, we look forward to your response!

I think there is still something missing here as the following link doesn't return the desired results.
https://www.jotform.com/build/200206038642949?PoolProducts=Pool%20Frog%20Model%206100
This example is called out: https://www.jotform.com/answers/983032-How-do-I-prepopulate-checkbox-with-image-choices-from-another-formI'm hoping I can use this format (http://form.jotformpro.com/##############?input15[0]=true) to specify which boxes are checked and which aren't but I just can't seem to get this to work either.
Just to give you the use case: I'm expecting the form to come up completely populated, and I'm looking to have the 'user' who clicks on the link to just verify and resubmit.
I need to be able to provide a link that I am able to pass a parameter to that allows me to select one or multiple PoolProducts. I'm passing a multitude of other parameters to this form (using it as a verification). I've had success with all other parameters except for this one!
Please help! Thanks!!!!

I would suggest using the Form calculation widget to get the proper product ID to use to populate the field.
Then use the populated field value to your URL parameter.
Here is a sample URL parameter https://form.jotform.com/200206038642949?PoolProducts=Pool%20FROG%20Bac%20Pac
Please give it a try and let us know if you have further questions.

So...
I want to click a link and have the 'Image Checkboxes' checked...
I don't need the calculation field.
Or are you saying to use the calculation field populate the image checkboxes?
Example:
1. Pass my parameter into the calculation 'text box'
2. Use logic based on the 'calculation' text box to fill out the 'Image Checkboxes'
