First of all thank you for your help.
The next problem I have. I have created a checkbox. With many options. In the backend they are all displayed one below the other. The list is already very long. Is there a way to display this list inline so that you are not only subdivided but also side by side?

Hi, there's nothing built in to Toolset that will apply this type of checkboxes layout automatically in wp-admin, but you can enqueue your own custom stylesheet for the admin area and add your own custom CSS with column-count, inline-block display, floats or something else: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts
It can be somewhat complicated if the checkbox titles are long and break to two lines, so unfortunately I don't have a simple cut-and-paste solution for you.

This ticket is now closed. If you're a Toolset client and need related help, please open a new support ticket.
