Acumatica checkbox won't update on field value change

I have a custom DAC field bound to a checkbox, but when I update the value of the field within code:

SOOrderExtension orderExt = PXCache<SOOrder>.GetExtension<SOOrderExtension>(row);
orderExt.UsrSignatureRequired = true;

the checkbox check is not updated on the UI. First I tried adding this line in the FieldUpdated event because this has worked for me before:

Base.Document.Update(row);

That didn’t work. Then I tried a suggestion I found on StackOverflow that forces a save and cache refresh, but my row (SOOrder) can’t save yet due to some validation rules, so that didn’t work. I think I need some kind of callback to the client to tell the UI to update itself, but usually this happens through events of bound fields. Suggestions?

Using v6.10.1219

From where you are trying to update(set true) the checkbox? If you want to update Checkbox when modifying another field on Screen, make sure that the field has 'CommitChanges=true' so it triggers evenHandlers. – cbetabeta
I am updating the value in another field's FieldUpdated event handler. When that value changes, I want to check the checkbox according to its value. The event is being triggered successfully. – Tony Lanzer

A colleague suggested I use cache.SetValueExt<>() instead:

cache.SetValueExt<SOOrderExtension.usrSignatureRequired>(row, true);

and now it’s updating the checkbox check for me. SetValueExt must perform the callback on its own somehow. I guess I need to remember to use each of these methods in the appropriate situation.
