@ramstein74 there would be two different ways to accomplish this. If you can share your project code I can advise a method to use.

1. Use Template Helper

  Template.myTemplate.helpers({
    attributeObject: function (){
      //"this" is the data context of your template
      return {checked: this.checked}
   }
  });

2. Store object in mongo document

  //mongo document
  {
    "name": "My Name",
    "occupation": "My Occupation",
    "attributeObject": {"checked": true}
  }

Ok if that is the way it works.

Just dont understand why you did it like that. It would be easy to debug if we could write in the html all the params to polymer.

Hiding all inside an object repeatedly for every record i may need, seems a waste of space( if inside collection) and harder to debug and code.

Update: there will be an additional way of creating this attribute object using subexpressions! See the proposal here and the PR here
