To accomplish the user experience you outlined, we would add regular checkbox fields to the Formidable Form, set to only be visible by Administrators with the checkbox checked by default and conditional logic to show/hide IF text box is/not empty. Then, map the FF checkbox to the PDF checkbox as usual.
(Using the “Visible to Administrator” functionalities ‘hides’ the field from all other users, but the field is visible to PRO2PDF and the value is saved with the FF entry)
We remain at your service.
