If you use a third-party editor, cancel the default editor creation and then implement your one. Call the setValue(newValue) method in the onEditorPreparing handler to notify the FilterBuilder of the changed value.

JavaScript
$(function() {
    $("#filterBuilder").dxFilterBuilder({
        // ...
        onEditorPreparing: function(e) {
            if(e.dataField === "hidden") {

                $('<input type="checkbox">')
                    .prop("checked", e.value)
                    .on("change", function(args) {
