The form entry shows only the first entry unless you "edit" the entry in which case the actual selection shows up. So in my for at <a href="https://www.nabne.org/home/order-transcripts/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nabne.org/home/order-transcripts/</a> you will see "Select the regulatory authority to which your transcript will be sent (Each selection is an individual transcript request)." no matter which entry they select on the notification it shows only AB, the first entry even if they didnt check it? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-checkbox-selections-should-be-stored-as-one-field#post-87672 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:43:53 +0000 Alex Cancado 87672@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Do you mean how the checkboxes are displayed in the entry list page?<br /> If so, you have the option to select your checkbox field from the column customizer (edit link on the top right corner of the grid) and that will display a comma separated list of selected values.<br /> So you could either display the selected items individually under their own column, or you could choose to view them as a comma separated list. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/multiple-checkbox-selections-should-be-stored-as-one-field#post-87293 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 20:32:19 +0000 Chris Hajer 87293@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll forward this one to the development team for their feedback.

However, per here (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/bug-wp-admin-form-entries-column-name-wrong" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/bug-wp-admin-form-entries-column-name-wrong</a>) checkboxes are designed so each selected value is later output as its own column. </p> <p>I see the sense in that from every perspective except the users. It's far easier for most users to check multiple boxes than it is to use CTRL + click to make multiple selections in a multi-select box. For the sake of simple controls for the user, I'd love it if Gravity Forms output multiple checkbox selections as one field.</p> <p>If not, I'd appreciate any help with custom solutions. It looks like this is solely a matter of the output since, when viewing each entry, multiple selections are in fact displayed under the name of the checkbox field.</p> <p>Thanks </p>
