Hey,

I have an ACF group with four different checkboxes that each has about 5 values – but I can’t display them in the field.

Any recommendations on how to do that?

Here’s a dev site: https://dev.winetofork.com/wine/?

Mistake: *Cant display them in the filter!

I can see the issue in the last screenshot, thank you. With fields made by ACF, when selecting the meta key, note a ‘gotcha’ …

… it makes 3 meta keys per field, like this (in this example for a field named ‘land’):

#1 _land
#2 field_52f0fc4334f52
#3 land

In our Meta Key selection list, you need to use key #3, without the underscore at the start of the key name. If you choose #1 by mistake, in the field choices you will see the name of #2.

Hey, Trevor thanks for the reply.

Actualy, I’m using automatic fill of values and this happens (still).. Do you suggest I should use manual fill of options and use #3 as value?

As I said, I think you have chosen the wrong meta key name. It is not about the values you enter.

What is the meta key name you selected when defining the field in our Form UI?

No problem. If you get it working, let me know, so that I can close this thread?
