Eventually we may need to add an option for the checkbox field that will export a comma separated list of selected items. </p> <p>As far as MailChimp, if you check the "show values" and give each option an unique value, the value should be sent to MailChimp instead of the label. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkboxes-and-admin-labels#post-89992 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 02:30:36 +0000 Chris Hajer 89992@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've run into this limitation as well. I will ask the development team about it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkboxes-and-admin-labels#post-89792 Sun, 11 Nov 2012 11:54:23 +0000 grupoparada 89792@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is it possible to have an Admin Label for each individual checkbox entry? instead of the label. The problem arises when you want to export/import records, all those individual fields are not helpful to be identified or differentiated, here an example:</p> <p>Check the newsletters you like:</p> <p>Checkbox 1: Newsletter A<br /> Options:<br /> English<br /> Spanish</p> <p>Checkbox 2: Newsletter B<br /> Options:<br /> English<br /> Spanish</p> <p>Checkbox 3: Newsletter C<br /> Options:<br /> English<br /> Spanish</p> <p>In this case, you really want to identify the fields by the newsletter you are selecting an option for; however what you see when you export, or link the form to mailchip or user registration add-ons for instance, is a bunch of English, Spanish fields with no way to differentiate them.</p> <p>Is there any other way to achieve a clear differentiation of the checkbox options, based on the main checkbox label description? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkboxes-and-admin-labels#post-16325 Sat, 15 Jan 2011 12:52:38 +0000 Carl Hancock 16325@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Checkboxes work differently than Radio Buttons and Drop Downs. </p> <p>On the Entries and Export Entries the individual checkbox items themselves are shown as individual fields, which is why the Field Label is not used.</p> <p>Checkboxes are a unique field type because they aren't like drop downs and radio buttons which are options of one form field. Checkboxes are individual inputs, each individual checkbox is a field. They are stored individually. </p> <p>We group them together for display on the Entry Detail and All Fields token with Notifications, but under the hood and by their very nature they are actually individual fields. This is why the Admin Label doesn't work on those pages because it's only used on the Entry Detail page. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/checkboxes-and-admin-labels#post-16315 Sat, 15 Jan 2011 03:03:17 +0000 bgatley 16315@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have noticed when I am building checkbox fields that the Admin Label for the checkbox fields do not appear in the admin entries columns nor the Export entries in the admin area. Other fields do use the Admin Label, but the checkbox fields do not...they are using the Label instead.</p> <p>However, the Admin Labels do appear in conditional logic lists.</p> <p>Is this intended behavior?</p> <p><a href="http://centraloregonhistoricalballs.com/2011-winter-ball-registration/" rel="nofollow">http://centraloregonhistoricalballs.com/2011-winter-ball-registration/</a></p> <p>GF 1.4.5 </p>
