It is an improvement but the fields are listed on every tiddler as user fields, I mean when you go to the field name popup. If you create a number of checkboxes then this is going to get very messy and unwieldy.
I was hoping that they had implemented data dictionary support for checkboxes as on: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/2205/files That would be a much neater solution and keep the data nicely contained.
