What does null mean for checkbox in PHP?
1) Assume a NULL in the PHP params means the checkbox is unchecked. If the checkbox doesn’t always exist on the page, this could be problematic.

Why is the checkbox field not updated on page reload?
Because the checkbox field saves its value as a serialized array, it is important to use the meta_query “LIKE” comparison. If using the local JSON feature, any custom values saved to the field’s choices will not appear on page reload. This is because the JSON file will not be updated and will override any field settings found in the database.
What happens if a checkbox is not selected?
If the checkbox is not selected there is not value supplied. This means your server-side processing code needs to be robust enough to handle this null or empty state. You want to trigger a real-time response to a change in checked state. You can do this by binding an event handler to the checkbox’s change event.
Is the value in the checkbox true or false?
The value is not true or false, even though the nature of the checkbox is to indicate if a value is selected or not. You can get the value property independent of the checked state.
How to create a checkbox for nullable booleans?
So the solution for me is to use a view model in which you will define a simple boolean property: and now you will have your controller action pass this view model to the view and generate the proper checkbox.
