If you add a checkbox to a taxonomy term, the status of the checkbox is not available via Views unlike all the other fields.
In my particular case, I was trying to create a "Published" or active state for each taxonomy term so a client could choose which terms are current. Using Views Filters, I was going to sort by only items that were checked.
But once over in views, checkboxes values were not accessible at all. I do think this should be added (even though D7 won't be using this module). As a work around, I used a select box, with a key of 1 and a visible text of "Published". Inside views, it supplies a value box, and you just enter the key, or "1".

b-prod commentedThis would be a new feature, currently the views support is very basic. If you can provide a patch, I would be glad to test it.

Ankabout commentedI think maybe you should change the description on the module page. It says "all types can be used as filters" and that it's "fully integrated with views". Not a big problem, but it caused me to look for ages to find how to get it to work.

iamjon commentedWhat's the difference bettween this thread and #689956: Add support for checkbox fields - views handler
I'm quite sure that you need to have your patch reviewed before it's ready to be committed.
