Hi,
I cannot make Dynamic Checkboxs work. This is the output:
The dynamic options do not populate the checkboxs.
if I put this: {var:php_10.2.value} (or any other key) it shows one checkbox.
if I put this: {var:php_10.value} - shows nothing.
[php_10] => Array
(
[returned] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => norte
[text] => norte
)
[1] => Array
(
[value] => valley
[text] => valley
)
[2] => Array
(
[value] => center
[text] => center
)
[3] => Array
(
[value] => south
[text] => south
)
)
[var] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[value] => norte
[text] => norte
)
[1] => Array
(
[value] => valley
[text] => valley
)
[2] => Array
(
[value] => center
[text] => center
)
[3] => Array
(
[value] => south
[text] => south
)
)
)
Zest96,
Did you check out the demo form that Max created?
Specifically, the Dynamic Options? There's an example for a Checkbox Group and a PHP action that returns an array.
I haven’t tested it yet, but it looks pretty straightforward to me.

Which CF?
I can't install cf8. must finish this in cf7 or 6
there is no checkboxs demo in CF7, nor CF6
whever I do, something isn't working right. I cannot know if it's a bug, or my misunderstanding.
I've put so much time on it, it's frustrating.
Ahh... my bad. I'm already in CF8 mode! 😆
More information is needed - are we talking about CF6 or CCv6? Which version exactly?
But in general, if you set {var:php_10.2.value}, it will display the array item with the key value 2.If you want to show the entire returned array, you’ll need to loop through it (or use a loop event function) to display all [value] or [text] items.
The idea of how to use a loop and an array is explained here:🔗 How to use the Repeater Area
Or this example for file uploads with a repeater:🔗 Custom File Upload with Repeater & Saving Filenames as Separate Rows

Thanks!!
What should the var look like so I wont need to loop it and use: {var:php_10.value} in options value and text?
cause I can change the php to return different array.
or maybe, because it's custom php, CC7/6 don't accept it?
this is my php that gets the values from joomla Jcfield "fieldparams"
$fieldParamsJson = $this->get("read_locations.0.Locations.fieldparams");
$fieldParamsArray = json_decode($fieldParamsJson, true);
$optionsArray = $fieldParamsArray['options'] ?? [];
$checkboxOptions = [];
foreach ($optionsArray as $option) {
$checkboxOptions[] = [
'value' => $option['value'],
'text' => $option['name']
];
}
//return $checkboxOptions;
return json_encode($checkboxOptions, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);
