This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Conditional Display based on the checkboxes custom field on custom field group admin section
Solution:
Please note that there are few types of post fields you cannot use as conditions for showing other fields. These fields include the Embedded Media, File Fields (Audio, Video, Image and File Upload field), Multiple Checkboxes field, and a WYSIWYG Text Area field. Additionally, repeating fields also cannot be used as conditions for showing other fields.
As you can see "Checkboxes" field cant be used for conditional display. That is a limitation.

Hi there,
I've created several custom post types, each of which will have their own unique custom fields groups, but I've also created a "global" custom field group which is applied to all of my CPTs. I'm running into an issue with the conditional display of one of the fields. I have a checkmark list of items, and want to have a text field appear only if a specific item on the checkmark list is marked, where the user can type in the requested information. I understand the procedure of how to do that; however, when I click on "add conditions" for the text field in the data-dependent display filters window, the checkmark list field is not listed on the "select custom field" menu. In fact, none of the fields from the global custom fields group is displayed on that menu - only fields from other cpt-specific groups. What am I doing wrong??
