Boolean attribute not binding in Thymeleaf

Question

I am trying to get my checkbox marked by setting an attribute of a model to true, but it does not get checked. This is my checkbox:

<div class="row text-center">
    <input type="hidden" value="on" name="_abroad"/>
    <input type="checkbox" name="abroad" onchange="getAbroad(this)"
           th:checked="${abroad} ? 'checked'"/>
    <span>Abroad</span>
</div>

and this is my model where I set my abroad property to true and the corresponing object I am adding to my model:

controller:

cityWrapper.setAbroad(true);
model.addAttribute("city", cityWrapper);

my wrapper:

public class CityWrapper {

    private List<City> cityList;
    private boolean abroad;
}

If the form bound to the city object? – Mateusz Mrozewski Apr 18 '18 at 06:15 — Mateusz Mrozewski, Apr 18 '18 at 06:15

You have to set it through the city object (set by the controller):

<div class="row text-center">
    <input type="hidden" value="on" name="_abroad"/>
    <input type="checkbox" name="abroad" onchange="getAbroad(this)"
           th:checked="${city.abroad}"/>
    <span>Abroad</span>
</div>
