I see this as IS_NOT_EMPTY() working correctly.
And why would you attach this validator to a checkbox/boolean field? Did
you also assign a default value of False?
Or you would need to check request.args for this field, and assign a
false if it is empty, before passing it along to the validator (again,
not sure what purpose the validator serves for this field).

hi there,
I noticed that when I use the IS_NOT_EMPTY() validator on a boolean
field (i.e. a form checkbox) that it will not allow me to submit the
form with this field as "not checked" / "unticked". In my opinion,
this is a wrong interpretation of what is an empty value, since a
checkbox can only represent True or False and therefore it's never
empty. The consequence of using this behaviour for the IS_NOT_EMPTY*()
validator is that we are forcing users to choose True on a widget that
is meant to provide a boolean choice between True OR False, so the
whole purpose of this user interface widget, is lost. I only tested
this with SQLFORM.factory() though.
Am I missing something?
