You may contact Eemeli (the author) on the talk page or via e-mail: he may be 
able to improve the recipe, which probably was designed to handle text fields. 
(When a checkbox is cleared, the browser doesn't submit the empty field, so 
the recipe somehow needs to be notified that a field should be changed even if 
the browser sent nothing.)
