Once the user edits the checkbox by checking or unchecking, the table will attempt to store the logical value in its data array, fail, and then go to the CellEditCallback. If you haven't defined the CellEditCallback or have defined it incorrectly, there will be an error and your table data will not be updated, hence the checbox will not register the new status.

Thanks "M".
This is the exact piece of code that enables the user to recover access to checkboxes after having set the data with the set command.
