Checkboxes and TextFields within Datatool csv tables
I've got a sample csv table with three columns - Pet, Names and Number. It's a list of Cats and Dogs, their respective names and the occurrence of each name.
i.e.
The order of Cats or Dogs in the csv file is completely random so I've use latex to effectively group all of one pet into its own table in the output document.
My document creates the two tables without issues. What I would like to do is have a Checkbox and TextField in the final column, however so far have always been getting the below error when trying to do so.
! Use of @sDTLforeach doesn't match its definition. @ifnextchar ...
reserved@d =#1def reserved@a {
#2}def reserved@b {#3}f... l.70 ...andafterdocsvlistexpandafter{uniquepet}
?
Document code below for reference.
Appreciate any help.

Hi @NicolaTalbot, yes the above MWE will work fine however if you replace 'Check Box' in the table cell withCheckBox[width=1em]{Tick Box}you'll notice you're unable to put a checkbox into the table.

For future reference, it would have been more courteous to ask the commentator who suggested this to write an answer rather than taking the credit yourself. However, I see that answering it yourself was suggested by another commentator, so obviously you couldn't know.
