Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a generic multiple checkbox field, which is populated by a view. I need the users input to be displayed in the notification email sent by the form upon submitting.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Yes. https://toolset.com/forums/topic/include-custom-generic-fields-added-to-the-form-in-the-notification-email/

What gets printed in the email is "Array", rather than the users input on the form.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The multiple checkbox field will be saved as an array instead of a simple string(similarly to the name field from the reference ticket). You will need to convert the array into a string, something like:

$newPlaceHolders = array(
'%%Checkbox%%' => implode(', ', $_REQUEST['the-generic-checkbox-field']),
);

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
