How can I set my single/boolean checkbox value from the results of a search?

[woodcock]

I am saving a boolean 0 or 1 value inside of a lookup file and I'd like to read this value and change the status of my checkbox input accordingly. I though that this would be easy or at least documented but it is neither...

Here is the essence of my dashboard:

<dashboard>
  <label>GREGG TEST CHECKBOX: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/790052/</label>;
  <search id="mybasesearch">
    <query>| makeresults | eval my_boolean = "1"</query>
    <done>
      <condition match="$result.my_boolean$==1">
        <set token="my_boolean_checkbox"></set>
        <set token="form.my_boolean_checkbox">1</set>
      </condition>
      <condition>
        <unset token="my_boolean_checkbox"></unset>
        <unset token="form.my_boolean_checkbox"></unset>
      </condition>
    </done>
    <earliest>-1s</earliest>
    <latest>now</latest>
  </search>
  <fieldset submitButton="true" autoRun="false">
    <input type="checkbox" token="my_boolean_checkbox">
      <label>Do something?</label>
      <choice value="1">Checked means "yes"</choice>
      <change>
        <condition value="1">
          <eval token="my_boolean">"1"</eval>
        </condition>
        <condition>
          <eval token="my_boolean">"0"</eval>
        </condition>
      </change>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
</dashboard>
