Embedded checkbox groups Category/Subcategory

Question

Hi Bob,

In CFV4 i had build via custom code a checkbox group showing Category and Subcategory like this one:

Category1
Subcategory1a Subcategory1b Subcategory1c

Category 2
Subcategory2a Subcategory2b Subcategory3c

etc...

Category and Subcategory where two "embedded" check box group.

Any simple way to do the same with CFV5 ? ( I am re-exploring CFV5 for new projects and try to avoid reinventing the hot water .....).

Hi Simelas,

You could do it with Custom HTML in a Custom Code action.

I'd probably do it with a series of separate CheckBox + Checkbox Group pairs and hide the Checkbox group until the parent Checkbox is clicked.

You can give all the parent Checkboxes the same array name if necessary e.g. category[] - but make sure that the IDs are distinct.
