I've searched but can't find this. I know I'll fee dumb when you tell me... so thanks in advance!
How do I get checkboxes on custom post fields? I see multiple choice just fine (even the tooltip mentions checkboxes), but I can't figure out how to get checkboxes.
THANKS!!!
Custom Fields do not currently support checkboxes. Custom Fields in Post Meta are single value fields. They consist of a Key/Name and a Value. It doesn't accept multiple values.
We do plan on implementing an option to use Checkboxes. It will create multiple custom field values, each with the same name. So the person using this field will need to know how to display custom fields stored this way. It's more complex than single value custom fields. You have to loop through the custom fields using the same name and display them using a loop.
So currently it isn't supported but it is a feature we plan on adding.

There is beautiful plugin - Advanced Custom Fields, that enables multiple checkboxes for custom post type fields. It would be awesome, if i could fill out these post types directly, without using hooks to transfer values from checkboxes control to the post itself. ;)
Gravity Forms v1.6 is currently available as a beta release and it does include the ability to use checkboxes with the Post Custom Field.
