Single Fields not autofilling the correct value

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The user would like to display the labels of checkboxes field inside a table block.

Solution:
The table bock does not allow to have a single block inside of its cells. The user was adding the checkboxes field using the Inline field, which does not offer, currently, more settings for display format. As a workaround, use a shortcode to display the field instead.

I am trying to: Insert the value of a checklist item as a single field into a template. The template ID is 592.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

I expected to see: For the sample field of Application, I expected to see 'residential', not the number '1' (hidden link). In many single fields inserted into the table in this template, the number value inserts instead of the value which should based on the custom field definition. In this case, the custom field group is toilets (483) and the item is that from a checklist field called "application". Here is the configuration of that field (hidden link)

Instead, I got: The number value appears instead of the designated selected value.

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
