We're getting the following warnings when using Types to create a custom post type and Toolset Forms to create a form that adds data to the custom post type:

PHP Warning:  preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /site/wp-includes/class-wp-block-parser.php on line 417
PHP Warning:  strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /site/wp-includes/class-wp-block-parser.php on line 489

We tested in a form containing custom fields with single line, multiple line, select, checkbox, radio, and checkboxes. The warnings occur only when there's a checkboxes field, and also the checkboxes values are not saved when I go to the edit post area. If I create a form without checkboxes but the other aforementioned fields, I don't get the warning and the data appears to be saved correctly.

Has this issue in forms/types been identified? If yes, when can we expect a fix?
