Hi
FYI when displaying checkboxes value in a Field and Text block with output=normal the separator doesn't work, no separator is added, whatever it is. I'd add that there is no way I could find to reopen the Display Option/ Custom values window once it has been saved, other than deleting the field, reselect it and retype all values (if they are many it's annoying). I would expect at least that all fields are pre-filled with values specified in the checkboxes field definitions.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I just checked and when I add the checkboxes field with normal output I can see the separator is added. For example:

[types field='venue-phase' separator='/'][/types]

Do you mean you are adding manual values for checked options and at that time the separator is not available?

Hello Minesh,
I am actually talking about the Field and text BLOCK, not shortcode. See the picture. The separator is set to comma+space, but it doesn't appear in the text (it does if I select Raw values).
thanks

I'm not sure why I cant see that option on Advance tab on sidebar.

Here is a sandbox site and you can auto-login to it using the following link:

I've created the Venue Phase custom checkboxes field as you can see with the following custom field group:

With the following post both the checkboxes options are set:

Here is the content template that displays the single venue post - can you please try to add the checkboxes field and see if you can see the same issue:

Hi Minesh,
In your sandbox I created a new page called Nicola's page. In order to see the Custom items widget on the left you have to select Custom items after selecting the field in the Field and text block and add your custom items labels (I added phase1 and phase1). As you can see from the picture attached, the venue Rockfeller Tower shows the issue. The separator is comma but it's not rendered in the view neither in the editor.
Other than that, if you want to edit any custom items there is no way you can reopen the custom item window other than deleting the field and reselecting it, but in this case all custom items go lost.

Ok - I got it what you say and we will try to improve this and will take a note of this.

But for now you will have to adjust the separator manually when you used shortcode for checked items as given under:

<p>[types field='venue-phase' state="checked" option="0"]phase1[/types][types field='venue-phase' state="checked" option="1"]phase2[/types]</p>

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
