I am trying to capture the input from a check box as Pass or Fail to record in my database. I have referenced the property checkedIcon but I only get the default property text in my database. Where have I gone wrong? ![checkbox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/6/a61cf7278f40ca721dc7bc146d7ab421eb3e7555.png) ![checkboxcode](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/e/bebe9ce5d602d1b5aa8fbd2563c36d2364254564.png) ---

`props.selected` is the actual value of the checkbox and is a boolean. ---
