If you are using the Custom Field configured as a Checkbox Field and you want each checkbox to have a different custom field name used, then you'd have to add a Custom Field for each individual checkbox.</p> <p>A Custom Field is a single field that may contain multiple checkboxes. It's still a single field and therefore is treated as such. The checkbox field type in this situation is for use when you have a single custom field name but multiple values.</p> <p>It's a single Custom Field, not multiple.</p> <p>If you need each checkbox to use a different custom field name to store the post meta data, you'd have to add multiple checkbox fields and add a field for each checkbox rather than configuring multiple checkboxes on a single field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/individual-custom-fields-for-each-checkmark#post-50160 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 23:11:44 +0000 tensegrity 50160@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm wondering how to use checkboxes but so that each checkbox has its own custom field id. As it is right now 10 checkmarks would only have 1 custom field name, which makes it sort of pointless as I can't use the values in the checkboxes separately in the custom field options in wordpress.</p> <p>So for example checkboxes right now it's like this:</p> <p>Color: red/white/blue</p> <p>Then in the custom field options in wordpress it shows</p> <p>Color - Yes<br /> Color - Yes<br /> Color - Yes</p> <p>But what I need is this:</p> <p>Red - Yes<br /> White - Yes<br /> Blue - Yes </p>
