how to update textfield values?

[osdevParag]

I have a word template with many text fields and checkboxes
How to use docx4j to update values of these text fields (tontents) and check/uncheck checkboxes?
I basically want to fill docx form programmatically using docx4j
Is it possible?

I also want to do something like this - allow users to set up DOCX 'Templates' with some data/formatting etc. set in the 'Template' but also 'placeholders' which I can find programmatically and replace with data when the template is used, for example Author, Date or some larger set of text like the contents of a report run on the users data.

Is this possible using docx4j or am I going to have to code the details all by hand?

If it is possible but a specific version of docx4j is required, can this please be mentioned in the reply so I can ensure we are using the appropriate version.

I suggest you take a look at https://www.docx4java.org/blog/2018/04/ ... a-binding/

It depends what sort of fields they are, and what sort of checkboxes.

MERGEFIELD you can process directly, or convert to OpenDoPE content controls. OpenDoPE handling includes check box content controls.
