How to prepopulate a node reference field (checkbox) On a node/add page I have a node reference. The widget type is "checkboxes" and I'm using the "View used to select the nodes" feature to show up to 5 checkboxes on the node/add page.

I would like to prepopulate a checkbox with the prepopulate module.

The checkboxes use this HTML name value:

name="field_tribe_content[und][18824]"


Usually prepopulate works by adding this to the url, but it doesn't work in this case.

?edit[field_tribe_content][und]=18824

There is some info in the issue queue and I have also tried

?edit[field_tribe_content][0][nid]=18824
?edit[field_tribe_content][0][nid][nid]=18824
?edit[field_tribe_content][nid][nid]=18824


How can I get it to work or what else could I do to preopulate those checkboxes?
Take a look here:

Prepopulate checkbox [#checked]

I have also been searching for a solution on how to do this.
