Yes. :-)

This issue on the one hand does less then #10533, but on the other hand it 
also does more:

While #10533 aimed at having a way to hide the checkbox AND have a 
predefined value set, I here only want a possibility to hide the box.
#10533 however only wanted to do this with one checkbox; here I deal with 
all.

As a summary of #10533: Mainly two aspects were discussed:
The first one was the question whether it made sense to use only one switch 
for hiding/showing/activating/deactivating the checkbox. With the proposed 
implementation you could show the checkbox while the predefined value was 
set. The problem was that then the checkbox does not make any sense, because 
it cannot be used.
Since my patch does not set a default value, that problem cannot occur.

The second aspect was the question, whether the option should be moved to 
the User Module.
People agreed not to do this. They argued against doing so, because there 
are users who want to change the option rather frequently during their work. 
But that would no longer be possible that quickly and comfortably, if the 
checkbox was located in a completely different module. This makes a bad 
workflow.
As a result I don't move the checkboxes.

So all in all I think that I took the important notes from #10533 into 
account. :-)

Kind regards

Jörg
