Item2244: Checkboxes all pre-checked in new EditTable row

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	New	Extension	EditTablePlugin

When I use checkboxes in an Editable Table, all checkboxes appear pre-checked for a new row. This is counterintuitive. HTML has a "checked" option, but EditTablePlugin does not. Nothing should be checked on a new row unless I give a starting value (not currently possible).

Sample

%EDITTABLE{ format="| radio, 1, , High, Med, Low | select, 2, , P1, P2, P3, P4 | checkbox, 1, All, Eggs, Toast, Potatoes | text, 20 | text, 20 |" }%
%TABLE{}%
| *Type* | *Priority:* | *Choice* | *A* | *B* |

Agree. Voting +1 for this. It's always been annoying, especially if you have a lot of checkboxes. Default should be off, but it would be good to set the default per table, eg checkboxdefault="off" or similar.
