Changing the field value

My form contains a checkbox . The field name is Terms & Conditions. Next to the checkbox is a prompt that says, "Please tick this box to confirm that you have read and agreed to our Terms & Conditions". This is a required field to be checked. When the form confirmation arrives, next to the Terms & Conditions field this entire sentence is repeated. I would like to change this to simply say "Checked", but I cannot figure out how to edit the actual form results. I cannot use the "Value" field in the field properties because the full prompt needs to be there as an instruction, but it is not necessary to be repeated in the confirmation email. If anyone knows a way to edit this I would be most grateful for the help as I have hit a bit of a wall on this.

Hi Mark,
Use the individual form variables instead of the _formresults_
You could also alter the value after export or you can add this to your form in a html element.
Change the part in bold to your checkbox group name
You can see it working here.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script>var jQ = $.noConflict(true);
jQ(document).ready(function(){
jQ("input[name='checkbox1[]']").val('yes');
});</script>
jQ(document).ready(function(){
jQ("input[name='checkbox1[]']").val('yes');
});</script>

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

The default wording on the confirmation email includes the field [_form_results_]. When that is displayed in the actual email, it displays whatever text you have place in Properties for each field, along with the field contents. So, by default you are seeing the same field descriptions in the confirmation email that the user sees on the form.
You can edit the confirmation email in "Settings" and build a customized HTML email that uses the field descriptions you want.

That looks great Eric. Just what I want. Only I'm not sure where exactly to add it. I tried putting it in the HEAD section of the Blank Confirmation template in Settings>Confirm Email>Customise Confirm Email Message. I change the Group Name to checkbox1, but it didn't work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong??
Thank you also Annette, but I only need this one change and don't really want to build a whole new customised email at this stage.
