I use:

<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="[modifier-name hotdip]" value="Y">

in one of my checkout pages to set a modifier to let me know if the item
is needed urgently by the customer.  This works in within the context of
the [item-list] directive and will automagically get the form field name
so that your modifier value gets set upon submit or refresh of the page.
