jqGrid add item checkbox field defaulted to checked

Here's a simple question. I have a jqGrid that's working great but I want set the default value for a checkbox t开发者_如何学JAVAo checked when user adds a new item. Here's a snippet of code:

{name: "Active", index: "active", width: 80, align: "center", sortable: false,
 editable: true, edittype: "checkbox", editoptions: {value: "Yes:No"}}

I don't see anything in the documentation:

You can use

editoptions: {value: "Yes:No", defaultValue: "Yes"}

(see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:common_rules#editoptions).

By the way, I personally use always the formatter: "checkbox" for columns like you have. Moreover

stype: "select", searchoptions: { value: "1:Yes;0:No" }

can also be helpful if you allow to search for values from the column.

UPDATED: Free jqGrid 4.13.6 (currently 4.13.6-pre, which one can get from GitHub) supports new stype: "checkbox". One can use, for example

stype: "checkbox", searchoptions: { sopt: ["eq"], value: "true:false" }

to have 3-state checkbox in the filter toolbar and 2-state checkbox in the Searching Dialog. The above searchoptions.value value means that the checked box corresponds the value "true" und unchecked box the value "false".

I have used this, it worked.

 editoptions: {value: "true:false", defaultValue: "true"}
