Question about checkbox in FORM_TITLE_ABSTRACT

thank you so much for your quick reply. I noticed that the Publication object is missing, so I used a workaround like in the JATSParserPlugin in which they used the path to get the publication:

github.com

Vitaliy-1/JATSParserPlugin/blob/6ae1f9cd1ad671c7acc257f337e2530eda93bf96/JatsParserPlugin.inc.php

 */

require_once __DIR__ . '/JATSParser/vendor/autoload.php';

import('lib.pkp.classes.plugins.GenericPlugin');
import('plugins.generic.jatsParser.classes.JATSParserDocument');
import('plugins.generic.jatsParser.classes.components.forms.PublicationJATSUploadForm');
import('lib.pkp.classes.file.SubmissionFileManager');
import('lib.pkp.classes.citation.Citation');

I will create a PR to include the publication object into this form.

Back to my problem: I tried what you said and unfortunately the checkbox still goes back to “checked” when saving while the setting_value in publication_settings is correctly saved as false.
Could it be a problem with the data type that is saved in the DB? I read here that checkbox values should be arrays (mine is a string): Several checkboxes in theme - #3 by UBWolf

Best,
Tina
