I bet it's because Gravity forms saves multiple checkbox values as multiple custom fields (with same meta key) instead of a single custom field with multiple values as array. Popular CF-plugins always use array for storing multiple values.</p> <p>I'm trying to achieve this with using regular checkboxes in gravity forms and then populating with the after_submission hook from functions.php. Did you ever resolve this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cannot-pass-gf-checkbox-values-to-ecpt-fields#post-99889 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 02:01:03 +0000 ekajatik 99889@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No special method, just choosing the custom field to populate in gravity forms. So I have a checkbox in the form with a number of possible values, which populates a custom field in a custom post type, both custom fields and CPT's have been created in ECPT plugin. The selected values in the form are not coming into the custom field, just the first checkbox value, nothing else. Have tried creating the custom field as text field, or also a checkbox but it doesn't make any difference, still the same result. I have talked to the ECPT creator and he says there must be an incompatibility between the way GF passes the field values into ECPT CF's. Anyone heard of this, or some way to work around it? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cannot-pass-gf-checkbox-values-to-ecpt-fields#post-99587 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 08:54:57 +0000 Chris Hajer 99587@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you show us how you are trying to pass the values currently? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cannot-pass-gf-checkbox-values-to-ecpt-fields#post-98610 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:44:00 +0000 ekajatik 98610@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When we try to pass multiple checkbox values to any fields in ECPT, including textarea fields, only the first variable is succesfully submitted. Is there a way to have a checkbox form element in the front end, but which submits a comma separated text list? </p>
