Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am wanting to display a custom field option if the user selects checkboxes in a checkboxes custom field. When i try to add a Conditional display for this custom field, the field that is a checkboxes field is not available. Is this field type not able to be used as a data-dependent filter?

Hello,

I assume we are talking about the "Conditional Group" of Toolset Forms plugin.
I have tried it in my localhost(Fresh WP installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins), by these steps:
1) Create post field group with a checkboxes field "Growth habit",
2) Create a post form for creating post, put above checkboxes field "Growth habit" into the form content
3) add a "Conditional Group" form content, I can see the "Growth habit" is available, see my screenshot growth-habit.JPG

Is there anything missing? please provide detail steps to duplicate the same problem, thanks

I don't believe we are understanding each other. I am talking about Custom Fields within a custom post type.

Current Setup-
-Custom Post Type Called Weeds
-Custom Fields Tied to Weeds
--Within this Custom Fields, I have a Checkboxes Field with 3 different checkboxes.
--I want to have additional fields appear for this post if certain values from the above Checkboxes field is checked.

Thanks for the details, you are talking about "Conditional Backend Display for Custom fields", see our document:
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/custom-fields-conditional-display/
section "Simple conditional fields logic":

These fields include the Embedded Media, File Fields (Audio, Video, Image and File Upload field), Multiple Checkboxes field, and a WYSIWYG Text Area field. Additionally, repeating fields also cannot be used as conditions for showing other fields.

So you can not use Checkboxes field as conditions for showing other fields.
