If the field_number is 5.10, when it's stored in the databse, the trailing 0 is removed.

One thing I still do not know is: What is the best way to update the created entry (in database) after the user submits the registartion form?

When you take that combination and try to then integrate it to the User Registration Add-On, I say it's too complex to tackle. I would have to spend hours trying to figure out what to do, and I am very familiar with Gravity Forms. What I suggest is that you take a different approach, using fields that are easier to manage such as radio buttons or drop downs. I understand it is not ideal, but I do think you will be banging your head against the wall trying to get this custom checkbox to work. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/unable-to-save-selected-values-from-checkboxes-field-in-database#post-135371 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:00:58 +0000 mikc03 135371@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks Chris.</p> <p>Please let me know how soon will the development team take look at this. I'm really stuck here and can't move forword as I'm not able to complete the user registration with all the needed fields.</p> <p>I just need to know if my approach is correct or not. If I'm doing it wrong, what is the best way to dynamically populate heirarchical checkboxes that are included in the registration form? and how to change the html structure of the checkboxes in order to be able to display/style them in a heirarvhical format in the form?</p> <p>Some code snippets, if possible, would be great.</p> <p>Note: I do not see the Checkboxes in the Registration Add-on feed page, where the gravity form fields are mapped to wordpress fields. So I'm not able to map the checkboxes field. How do you map checkboxes? could this be the problem?<br /> Under the custom fields section, I added my custom field "custom categories", but in the matching dropdown on the right side, I do not see/know what field I shold map it to.</p> <p>Thank you very much,<br /> RB </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/unable-to-save-selected-values-from-checkboxes-field-in-database#post-135152 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 10:43:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 135152@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll bring this topic to the attention of the development team.
