Column(
  children: [
    FdcBooleanEdit(
      dataSet: customers,
      fieldName: 'active',
      label: 'Active customer',
      control: FdcBooleanControl.switchControl,
    ),
    FdcBooleanEdit(
      dataSet: customers,
      fieldName: 'email_notifications',
      label: 'Email notifications',
    ),
    FdcBooleanEdit(
      dataSet: customers,
      fieldName: 'credit_approved',
      label: 'Credit approved',
      readOnly: true,
      control: FdcBooleanControl.switchControl,
    ),
  ],
);

Checkbox​

FdcBooleanEdit(
  dataSet: customers,
  fieldName: 'active',
  label: 'Active',
)

Switch​

FdcBooleanEdit(
  dataSet: settings,
  fieldName: 'email_notifications',
  label: 'Email notifications',
  control: FdcBooleanControl.switchControl,
)

Both control styles write through the normal dataset edit lifecycle.

Required boolean fields​

When a boolean field is required, the editor participates in Flutter Form.validate() behavior. Use this when true is the only acceptable completed state, such as explicit confirmation or acceptance workflows.

Read-only state​

FdcBooleanEdit(
  dataSet: orders,
  fieldName: 'invoiced',
  readOnly: true,
)

Use a read-only editor when the value should remain visible in the form but is controlled by application logic.
