How do I display the Yes/no field without any text in the table’s Yes/No column? I only want to see a checkmark if yes. IOW’s I don’t want to see the word “Yes”.

Okay, the best I could do was to set the text color to white if Yes and hide the value if no. That’s not too bad but I can’t center the checkmark in the column (even if right aligned) because the text still exists.

Thanks Carl. Honestly, that did occur to me. The fly in the ointment is this field is editable in the table. So if I add an icon field I won’t be able to edit it. But thanks. BTW, I love your videos.

Possible solution: Try creating a multiple choice field with only one option. Set that options field to `<i class="fa fa-check" style="font-size: 1.25em; margin-right: 0.4em; color: #2ab27b;"></i>` then under “Layout” choose check boxes. From there you can center it from page editor

That’s a very clever solution Alex. Just wondering what he downside might be? I added an update rule to the add form and I get this:
