3242320 - Can we have a "N/A" option to the "Yes/No Checkbox" field in Process Governance?

Symptom

We've started to use Process Governance forms and we could find really useful if you can add an extra "N/A" option to the "Yes/No Checkbox" field in Process Governance.

It would make it easier and simpler for users if the form requires to have those three options.



Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Resolution

The Yes/No checkbox is designed to store a Boolean value (true/false) so it can only store one of those two states. Please see:

You may want to use a Choice field that can be set to accept one of three (or any number) possible values. You can also set it to be mandatory and assign one of the 3 values to be the initial (default) value. Example:
