preselect multiple options in checkbox field

Hi there,

This is a feature of the latest release of Caldera Forms (1.6). You should update to the latest version: https://calderaforms.com/2018/03/caldera-forms-1-6-is-here/

Hope this helps!

Hi Christie,

I am also in need of this feature and created a plugin using the following code from the link but it doesn’t seem to work.

Appreciate your advice please? thanks.

Regards.

add_filter( ‘caldera_forms_render_get_field’, function( $field, $form ){

$field[ ‘config’ ][ ‘default’ ] = array(

Hi Christie,

and thanks for your answer!

I am actually working with the latest (free) Version of Caldera. I have just updated to 1.6.1.1. But I am still not able to select more than one field.

To clarify: I want to select multiple Options (its called “default”) within one checkbox field. However, the fields I can select within the Layout Builder have the round version (like a radio field), so it is only possible to pre-check one of the fields at a time.
In the finished form I get the normal square selecters and can select multiple options at once. It is just not possible to have multiple options preselected.

Thanks a lot!
