$PI.sendToPlugin not sending checkbox input

[jamesalbert]

Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue with the property inspector. I can only seem to send text inputs to my plugin binary (c++). I want to send a checkbox field to my plugin, but it never seems to get sent, even though it renders on my deck and toggling its value triggers a send.

partial inspector.html

        <form id="property-inspector">
            <div id="tab1" class="tab-container">
                <div type="checkbox" class="sdpi-item">
                    <div class="sdpi-item-label">Enabled </div>
                    <input class="sdpi-item-value" id="enabled" name="enabled" type="checkbox" value="left">
                    <label for="enabled"><span></span></label>
                </div>

                <div class="sdpi-item">
                    <div data-localize class="sdpi-item-label" title="IP">IP</div>
                    <input data-localize class="sdpi-item-value" name="ip" type="text" value="" placeholder="server's public ip address" />
                </div>

                <div class="sdpi-item">
                    <div data-localize class="sdpi-item-label" title="Game Port">Game Port</div>
                    <input data-localize class="sdpi-item-value" name="gameport" type="text" value="" placeholder="server's game port (e.g. 28015)" />
                </div>

                <div class="sdpi-item">
                    <div data-localize class="sdpi-item-label" title="Query Port">Query Port</div>
                    <input data-localize class="sdpi-item-value" name="queryport" type="text" value="" placeholder="server's query port (e.g. 28017)" />
                </div>
            </div>
        </form>

partial inspector.js

$PI.onConnected((jsn) => {
    const form = document.querySelector('#property-inspector');
    const {actionInfo, appInfo, connection, messageType, port, uuid} = jsn;
    const {payload, context} = actionInfo;
    const {settings} = payload;

    Utils.setFormValue(settings, form);

    form.addEventListener(
        'input',
        Utils.debounce(150, () => {
            const value = Utils.getFormValue(form);
            $PI.setSettings(value);
            $PI.sendToPlugin(value);
        })
    );
});

event handler:

void ServerStatusPlugin::SendToPlugin(const std::string& inAction, const std::string& inContext, const json &inPayload, const std::string& inDeviceID)
{
	std::cout << "Received payload:\n";
	for (auto it = inPayload.begin(); it != inPayload.end(); ++it) {
		std::cout << it.key() << " : " << it.value() << "\n";
	}
	std::cout << "Done printing payload\n";
}

logs: (triggered by toggling the checkbox, but it never comes along for the ride)

stdout: Received payload:
gameport : ""
ip : "19233"
queryport : ""
Done printing payload

All my other fields are getting sent except my checkbox input field. I've been trying to find the answer in the docs, but no luck yet. Seeing if other folks have run into this.

my luck, as soon as I post something I find an answer...

if anyone else runs into this, it seems a form change where the field has no value will be omitted in the payload.
