Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a cutom post type that I'm happy with and all is working well BUT, now, my client wants me to add a chck box that, when checked, it will display the custom post on the home page. Basically, make it a homepage featured post.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
None
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that i know of.

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - so, basically, you should create a view to display your featured posts on homepage. You should add a custom field filter and check the checkbox value is checked or not.
