Checkbox returns 1 or null, why not 0?

[Matthieu_Rouvin]

Hi all,
As I understand (but I might wrong), a checkbox returns 1 or null.
Shouldn’t it be returning 1 or 0 (“True” / “False” or “checked” / “unchecked”) to be more useful ?
It would then be usable in pivot-tables or other kind of summaries.
Thanks for your help ?

Hi @Matthieu_Rouvin,

Adam from Airtable here.

The behavior probably looks like a null result in the UI, but, on the backend, the checkbox field is in the true/false, 1/0 (boolean) format.

Cheers, and let me know if you are running into something else.
