if I understood correctly the request was to be able to set the last checkbox labled Indeterminate / Intersex / Unspecified with either one of the three values (unspecified works) and also capture the value. e.g. when setting 'indeterminate' as the value the checkbox should be checked and also have the value 'indeterminate'.
That's not possible. It can only be set using 'unspecified' and then have the value 'unspecified' as a single checkbox can not have multiple ON values.
