Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am setting up organizations section on my website. Each organization can operate in several countries so I have added checkboxes custom field. Setup is like this- When unchecked, don't save anything to the database, when checked - save 1. I have checked first country (Italy) in the list and when I open a page I see - 1, , ,. So it outputs 1 instead of Italy and then empty spaces separated by comas.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?

Hi Mykola
I don't see any debug info for your site so I'm not sure which versions you have installed, but the issue about the commas being output for the unchecked options was fixed in Types 3.0.3, so make sure your plugin is up-to-date and you shouldn't see that.
Regarding seeing the 1s rather than the country names, that is expected: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#checkboxes
"With no attributes set, checkboxes will return a comma separated list of values stored for each checked checkbox."
If you want to output the country name, either save the country name to the database (instead of 1), or choose an alternate value to display (see example in screenshot).
