I have a custom user field called wpcf-tender-notifications. It is a checkbox field. When a user registers on my site they have the opportunity to select checkboxes and save it to their profile(using a cred user form).
These fields then trigger email notifications in a plugin we custom built. A week or so ago the emails stopped sending out so I started investigating. Eventually I tracked down the problem being the way the CRED edit form now saves those checkboxes. for some reason it is saving the field as this in the database:

If I go to the same user account and simply save his account in the WordPress admin without making any changes whatsoever and then go look at the same filed in the DB it is suddenly stored as:
a:17:{s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-5b82e137601d5bc2447663b54099ea12-1";a:1:{i:0;s:25:"advertising-and-marketing";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-02c9942f4b036ec2b337a2589172e739-1";a:1:{i:0;s:35:"architecture-design-and-engineering";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-d5ce8d67af5242872670a8e2d3c76d6a-1";a:1:{i:0;s:25:"automotive-and-mechanical";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-d32ab8b060e10b46a1a0101f48a89b53-1";a:1:{i:0;s:25:"cleaning-and-pest-control";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-67c1cac04823b12a61961609ef94ec6d-1";a:1:{i:0;s:16:"computers-and-it";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-30c64055dfa22250be9ae228da06b56a-1";a:1:{i:0;s:12:"construction";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-8f4c9b54ee1242d54876248d1f5bd62f-1";a:1:{i:0;s:21:"courier-and-transport";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-431e17a1d7ef0d5a5821bc5d99cd0612-1";a:1:{i:0;s:7:"farming";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-6c24ef8289569decfbc78d6f72af98ba-1";a:1:{i:0;s:22:"finance-and-accounting";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-ca9653ba175bf1442d287f53e94379f9-1";a:1:{i:0;s:21:"gardening-landscaping";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-6ba7140c646dc45240361cc86429a400-1";a:1:{i:0;s:18:"health-and-fitness";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-a9cd98e0f3b50f74e5d237e158a2745b-1";a:1:{i:0;s:5:"legal";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-e11c71f684f34043df27bd2c3c5022a7-1";a:1:{i:0;s:18:"othermiscellaneous";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-8d9603af61711dbb861a125bff006732-1";a:1:{i:0;s:21:"part-time-and-student";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-93f92e03651fd2c2a0a1e664421bd05d-1";a:1:{i:0;s:11:"photography";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-99bce127654ff18355e1c13fc13c3c4a-1";a:1:{i:0;s:8:"security";}s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-2e78bdfac14bdd43a0479a2e3ff7c0dc-1";a:1:{i:0;s:7:"storage";}}
And then the notification emails in our plugin also trigger as they should for that user.
Is this a bug we have spotted? It doesnt make sense that the cred form would save the data differently to how the wp user edit screen does...
Please advise
Just to simplify things I saved only one checkbox to the field using the CRED form and it saved as:
a:1:{s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-5b82e137601d5bc2447663b54099ea12-1";s:25:"advertising-and-marketing";}
Then I saved the user record in WP admin (not changing anything) and the field value changed to:
a:1:{s:64:"wpcf-fields-checkboxes-option-5b82e137601d5bc2447663b54099ea12-1";a:1:{i:0;s:25:"advertising-and-marketing";}}
