We have multiple options (checkbox) on our donation form. We have one pre-selected to help guide donors, but when we create a donation link for another donation option (checkbox in the same set), the pre-selected is also active.

Is there a way to pass a value via the URL to deselect the checkbox for that field?

As far as I know, you can’t uncheck a checkbox with a query string parameter. You could check for the existence of something in the query string and then use jQuery to uncheck the option. The jQuery approaches discussed here can be used to uncheck a checkbox with jQuery:

You would need to know “when” to uncheck it.
