They can point to the same function, but both of them need to be used so that the function fires at the proper times. Following is an example that should help you out:</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/6014156" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/6014156</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-all-the-selected-values-from-checkboxes-are-being-saved-to-the-database#post-138041 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:57:25 +0000 Chris Hajer 138041@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll ask the development team for their input on this one. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-all-the-selected-values-from-checkboxes-are-being-saved-to-the-database#post-137484 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:04:28 +0000 Marc Koetsier 137484@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>OK, I just noticed that when i add the checkbox field into the form, it has by default 3 choices. When i dynamically populate the field, i have, lets say, 15 choices. But when i submit the form, only the first 3 are saved to the database. If i go to the form editor, edit the checkbox field and increase the number of choices to 15. Then it all works correctly.</p> <p>Now, I think this defeats the purpose of dynamic population. Because now I have to make sure, the number of choice is increased in the form whenever I add a new post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/not-all-the-selected-values-from-checkboxes-are-being-saved-to-the-database#post-137464 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 10:30:59 +0000 Marc Koetsier 137464@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>So i have checkbox field in my form. I dynamically populate data into the checkbox. See following code:</p> <p><a href="http://pastie.org/private/vq7jjiojoln0844iqyjq#26,28" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/private/vq7jjiojoln0844iqyjq#26,28</a></p> <p>Basically, I am getting all custom type posts "Workshops" and populating the checkbox field with the value for each input being the post's title.</p> <p>But when i submit the form, not all the selected values are saved into the database.</p> <p>I referred to <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields</a> and copy pasting the code from the article yeilds the same result. </p>
