Script to populate checkbox

[BoomerET]

I have a checkbox
<field
id="chkProf"
name="Proficient in skill"
type="user"
defvalue="0">
</field>

I want to set this to a one when the user choose a specific background (D&D 5th Edition)

But I keep getting the message that it can't be modified via script.

I know I've worked around this before, but I'm at a complete loss.

Maybe I'll do something besides a checkbox. Let user select it from another tab, and populate my skills tab.

Sorry to bother.

Got a workable solution, not using checkboxes.

I did this a little differently.

In the template (in the tab_basics file), I have:
<portal
id="held"
style="chkNormal">
<checkbox field="sklHeld"/>
</portal>

This points to an update I made in traits.str under Skills:
<!-- Field to support player selection of a skill as "held" -->
<field
id="sklHeld"
name="Skill Held"
type="user"
maxlength="0"
defvalue="0">
</field>


Does that help at all?

Thanks KF, but with recent announcements about 5E possibly coming officially to HL, I've stopped work on it.
