Goal: I need to add a check box field into a retool form, after adding a new column to the connected database, I can only add the below components to the form and not a boolean. How can this be set up?

Hello @Nicole_Reiter!
It looks like you are using the stand-alone Retool Form, I believe that generating the form from scratch should grab the boolean field. But if it is not, that is definitely a bug that I can write a report on!
I was playing around with the Retool From and confirmed that it doesn't seem to be possible to add in a checkbox to a schema-generated form, which is odd but it would prevent users from adding in a value that cannot be stored in the DB if they had not added a corresponding column.
I did find a 'Sync from database' button which might be able to ping your DB and notice you have a boolean column that needs a corresponding input field. Have you tried that yet?
If generating a new form from scratch and synching both do not work then I can file a bug report to have this addressed.
The other option in the short term would be to build the form from scratch which is not ideal but will ensure you can add in a checkbox component.
Hi @Nicole_Reiter,
Just made a feature request as it seems that after further testing the Retool Form will need to have some functionality added to support boolean values 
Will keep you updated on any news I hear from the team on this!
