if the form element is the slot of a component then just use the slot
option :backtrack t (or #'copy-seq or whatever). If the form element's
value is somewhere else you will need to call BACKTRACK yourself:

(ucw::backtrack (ucw::context.current-frame ucw:*context*)
                (ucw:make-place (ACCESSOR-FORM)))

You can do this at any point during the action.

checkboxs have beena real pain in the ass for me, if you figure
something out i'd love to hear about it.
