Hi  
Checkbox has options for color. However, these colors do not seem to be applied.

Is this a bug?

We have a use case for colored checkboxes. Ideally we would choose any defined color, but just using the built in would be OK too.

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this bug. Does this happen in the client as well, or is it just in Create that the color is missing?

Hi,

I have been unable to reproduce this. The checkboxes are given the right color as expected when ticked. See images below:

Does your color not appear even after ticking the checkboxes?

Hi, the color is there when the checkbox is ticked, but not when it is not ticked (the border is black when not ticked).

Thanks,

Understood! Thank you for the feedback. This is the way that checkboxes are currently designed, but I have created a feature request to add the color to the checkbox border even when it is not ticked.

This thread will be updated when the feature is included in a future release of Create.
