Each checkbox is an individual field and the Checkbox field can consist of multiple checkboxes. So it's more complex than most. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-check-box-fields-from-a-databse#post-33350 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:39:55 +0000 Allenc 33350@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>and that becomes the parameter I use in the dynamic field in the admin area? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-check-box-fields-from-a-databse#post-33347 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:37:31 +0000 Carl Hancock 33347@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That is the function name, you'd call it whatever you want. That example uses populate_dropdown because the function in that example is called populate_dropdown. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-check-box-fields-from-a-databse#post-33342 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:30:50 +0000 Allenc 33342@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Im not seeing what I would title the pre render for checkboxes.. ie to change a drop down it is "populate_dropdown" wouls it be "populate_chckbox"? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/get-check-box-fields-from-a-databse#post-33340 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:21:17 +0000 Chris Hajer 33340@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Glad that helped.
