Furthermore, the code fails the validation for "required" even though one or more boxes are checked.</p> <p>It would help if more thorough documentation was available for dynamically populating form fields using Gravity Forms intended methods, especially fields with multiple choices. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-checkbox-from-custom-taxonomy#post-40256 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 11:25:45 +0000 fbrill 40256@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks man, Helps a lot! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-checkbox-from-custom-taxonomy#post-39488 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:24:52 +0000 Chris Hajer 39488@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for posting your code. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamic-checkbox-from-custom-taxonomy#post-39405 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 12:07:30 +0000 squidgemann 39405@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>* Purely an informative post for the community, no need for an Admin response *</p> <p>I just spent a little while editing the code provided by the admin's on how to dynamically populate checkboxes so I could create a list of services from a custom taxonomy. It was pretty straight-forward but I just thought I'd post it incase it saves someone 20 minutes in the future.</p> <p>All the best,<br /> Andy</p> <pre><code>//Adds a filter to form id 3, change number 3 to your form ID. add_filter(&quot;gform_pre_render_3&quot;, populate_checkbox); add_filter(&quot;gform_admin_pre_render_3&quot;, populate_checkbox); function populate_checkbox($form){ //Creating choices and inputs as empty arrays $choices = array(); $inputs = array(); $categories= get_categories(&#39;taxonomy=services&#39;); // change services to the name of your taxonomy $i = 1; // we need a counter to create the field id // loop through the array and push the results to the $choices and $inputs arrays foreach ($categories as $category) { // field_id identify&#39;s which element this is going to replace. Change 2 to whatever your field id should be $field_id = &quot;2.&quot;.$i; array_push($choices, array(&quot;text&quot; =&gt; $category-&gt;cat_name, &quot;value&quot; =&gt; $category-&gt;cat_name)); array_push($inputs, array(&quot;label&quot; =&gt; $category-&gt;cat_name, &quot;id&quot; =&gt; $field_id)); $i++; // add 1 to the counter for the next loop } //Adding items to field id 2. Replace 2 with your actual field id. You can get the field id by looking at the input name in the markup. foreach($form[&quot;fields&quot;] as &amp;$field){ //replace 2 with your checkbox field id if($field[&quot;id&quot;] == 2){ $field[&quot;choices&quot;] = $choices; $field[&quot;inputs&quot;] = $inputs; } } return $form; }</code></pre>
