Updating a form entry creates an additional postmeta entry

    When an end user submits a form entry and chooses an item from a checkbox field, a postmeta entry is created with the value they chose. If they then go back and update the form entry in the front end and choose an additional value from that same checkbox field, an additional postmeta entry is created, leaving the original as well. I’d like to update that original postmeta entry with all of the checkbox values that are checked. Is this possible? Using GF + Custom Post Types for the initial post creation.

    I think I realize what’s happening: GF+CPT is creating the checkbox postmeta values as one comma-separated postmeta entry, while GF Post Updates is creating a separate postmeta entry for each checkbox value. Any suggestions to reconcile this would be appreciated.

    Nevermind, this was self-inflicted from an import from an old system. My apologies.
