I'm wanting to set up multi-select custom field and after I saved and went to Add a New Post, it didn't show the Values to select from. I was confused when setting up the multi-select custom field because there's two columns to enter values into but no real explanation of what goes where. I couldn't find any documentation that explains the columns and what to put where. I'd appreciate an explanation of how to fill out the Multi-Select Custom Field.
Thanks.

Hello,

There isn't Multi-Select Custom Field within Types plugin, if you need a multiple choice field, please try the custom checkboxes field, see our document:

Thank you for your help.
I cannot find any detailed description of what to input into the fields for Checkboxes, and also for Select fields.
I think I figured out the Checkboxes, but:
-- in Select fields, is the number field used so one can put the values in a customized order, if one chooses ?
-- I noticed it starts with "1", ...."0" is reserved for what?

For custom select field, all option's value are defined in admin side,
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Custom Fields

You can customize the option's order by dragging them, and the value 0 isn't reserved, you can use it as option's value.
