Save checkboxes group in DB

Save checkbox group values in a database.

Overview

The issue occurs when using a standard field data placeholder, which doesn't capture multiple selections from a checkbox group.
Use the JSON encode placeholder for the checkbox field name to properly save the array of selected values to the database.

Hello,

How do i save the values of the checkboxes group in the DB?

For fields I use field={data:field}, but that doesn't seem to work for the checkboxes group.

Answer

{data.encode:checkboxes_field_name}

This will JSON encode the array value
