QBL objects are the supported Quickbase schema elements you see textually represented in the YAML file generated by Quickbase when you [export a solution](https://developer.quickbase.com/operation/exportSolution). Each object has associated properties. The following tables list information about the properties of each object. See general information about [fields as QBL objects](/v1/docs/quickbase-fields-as-qbl-objects). ## Checkbox - formula fields | Property | Required | Default | Allowed Values | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Formula | False | "" | Any string | | OverrideSubFieldAccess | False | False | true or false | | Label | True | - | Any string | | IsRequired | False | False | true or false | | AllowDataCopy | False | True | true or false | | IsBold | False | False | true or false | | DisplayWithoutWrapping | False | False | true or false | | HelpText | False | "" | Any string | | IsSearchable | False | False | true or false | | AllowedInReports | False | True | true or false | | AddToAllNewReports | False | False | true or false | | SnapshotSourceLookupField | True | - | Reference to Field | | SharedWith | False | [] | Array of items of type: Any string | | RolePermissions | False | - | | | DefaultValue | False | Unchecked | One of: Unchecked, Checked | | ShowAsCheckmark | False | True | true or false | | DoesTotal | False | False | true or false | ## Currency - formula fields | Property | Description | Required | Default | Allowed Values | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Formula | | False | "" | Any string | | OverrideSubFieldAccess | | False | False | true or false | | IsUnique | | False | False | true or false | | Label | | True | - | Any string | | IsRequired | | False | False | true or false | | AllowDataCopy | | False | True | true or false | | IsBold | | False | False | true or false | | DisplayWithoutWrapping | | False | False | true or false | | HelpText | | False | "" | Any string | | IsSearchable | | False | False | true or false | | AllowedInReports | | False | True | true or false | | AddToAllNewReports | | False | False | true or false | | SnapshotSourceLookupField | | True | - | Reference to Field | | SharedWith | | False | [] | Array of items of type: Any string | | RolePermissions | | False | - | | | Units | | False | "" | Any string | | Width | | False | 10 | Any integer | | DoesTotal | | False | True | true or false | | DoesAverage | | False | False | true or false | | TreatBlankAsZero | | False | True | true or false | | DefaultValue | | False | "" | One of: "", Any string | | DecimalPlaces | Leave blank for floating point | False | 2 | One of: FloatingPoint, "", Any integer | | DefaultSortOrder | | False | Ascending | One of: Ascending, Descending | | SeparatorStart | | False | 3 | One of: 3, 4 | | NumberFormat | | False | | | | SeparatorStyle | Whether to use a comma or dot/period as the decimals separator e.g. 766.12 vs 766,12.
