This throws an error when saving the template, saying the custbody field is empty. Can you help with the correct syntax?

Yes

Try using the Freemarker default value operator:

Thanks for the new reference. Looks useful. In this case though, I can’t set a default. I need to know if the box is checked or not.

If the custom field was created after the Sales Order was saved, the value may be null, not true or false, so it may just work to default to unchecked.

Also, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in Netsuite/Freemarker where checkboxes are sometimes boolean and sometimes ‘T’ or ‘F’. For example, I have some code that is shared by multiple forms, and I had to do the following for it to work:
