Could you have a look at my settings as to what I am doing wrong here?
All check-boxes on the site whether single or multiple do not check by default upon user registration
Please see screenshots for settings comparison.
Thanks in advance for the support

For single checkbox fields set their "Default Registration Value" parameter to 1 for checked. For multi-checkbox fields be sure you're separating multiple values with |*| (e.g. Value1|*|Value2). The Field action in CB Auto Actions does not create defaults. It simply changes the fields value and stores the change to the database directly, which you'll have to do on the onAfterUserRegistration trigger if the checkbox field doesn't actually display on registration.

Under conditions you don't have a valid substitution supplied. You supplied the literal name of the field, which needs to be surrounded in brackets to be a substitution (e.g. [FIELD_NAME]). See the below substitution tutorial for substitution usage information.

Ah thanks for helping out, I am no longer stuck here and its working ;-)
One more thing though, when I use multiple checkbox fields I can add a text line at the value which is displayed on the same row as the title and checkbox icon. Now, how do I add a text line to a single checkbox field?

There's no option for that. You can use a multicheckbox field with only 1 value to simulate that behavior though. Will review adding a parameter to supply a label for single checkbox usage though.
