I have some custom fields setup as check boxes. Depending on what the user selects it will store different html

My issue is that when the html html stored seems to cause the checkboxes html code to show in plain text on the form itself.
I had removed the html from the Studio option as an example

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please tell me why you would like to store HTML as checkbox value? Where normally you should use either number or text for your checkbox value or combination of number and text as checkbox value.

Well - I suggest you can configure your checkbox field value either numeric or text and then you can display the icon where you want to display the checkbox value.
