Umbraco Forms custom FieldType checkbox

I have created a custom field in Umbraco Forms but it doesn’t seem to like the Umbraco UI checkbox:

[Setting(
        "Enabled days",
        Description = "Select which days of the week can be selected.",
        View = "Umb.PropertyEditorUi.CheckBoxList",
        PreValues = "Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday,Sunday",
        DefaultValue = "Tuesday,Thursday",
        DisplayOrder = 60)]
    public string EnabledDays { get; set; } = string.Empty;

It just doesn’t render anything. Views like Umb.PropertyEditorUi.Dropdown and Umb.PropertyEditorUi.Toggle work but not checkboxlist.

The [documentation](Setting Types | Forms | Umbraco Documentation "documentation

(Setting Types | Forms | Umbraco Documentation)") doesn’t list checkbox as being supported but I would expect all Umbraco property editors to be available, unless Forms is specifically not registering/excluding them.

Has anybody used a checkbox in a custom field? I feel like I shouldn’t have to create a custom property editor just for this.

This is for Umbraco 17.
