Checkboxes, radio buttons and dropdowns from CSV columns

Text fields are easy. The forum threads are full of the rest: ticking boxes from a column, picking the right option, multi-selects. Here is how Fillhand handles each.

Step by step

1. Record the form once, ticking and choosing as usual.
2. Checkbox step → Tick from data: {{row.Newsletter}}. yes, y, x, 1, true, có tick; no, n, 0, false or empty untick.
3. A group of checkboxes from one cell: put the options in the cell separated by ; — News; Sales. Fillhand ticks those and unticks the rest. Values or label text both work.
4. Radio buttons: Tick from data with the option's label or value — Medium.
5. Dropdowns: the Choose step's value {{row.Country}} matches the option value, then the visible text, ignoring case.
6. Multi-select lists: Red; Blue selects both.
7. Custom dropdowns (the ones that are really divs): record clicking the box and then the option; Fillhand records the option by its text, so {{row.Country}} works in the click step's text.

Tips that save a rerun

• If a value isn't found, the run stops on that row and says “option not found: …” — usually a spelling difference in the sheet.
• Frameworks like React ignore values set the wrong way; Fillhand fires the same events a real user would.
