Maybe I wasn't clear. If the checkbox is checked in the addRecord.jsp that means the value of isPermanent in the data table is true. So when that record is displayed in the editRecord.jsp the checkbox should be checked. I've got it working that way now by using the if/else in editRecord.jsp but I wanted to avoid that if possible.

Can't you just set the ActionForm property and use it in the edit page also?
