Checkbox Group

Hi,

I'm looking to create a template that contains a block of six checkboxes (these are not to display on the front end, just for use on the back end).

Is it possible to list all of these checkboxes under one field?

I'm planning on using these checkboxes to display content on another page, so it would be useful if I could filter against one field as opposed to six.

Is this at all possible?

Thanks, Harry

That's not possible with any of the default field types. You'd need a new field type to do it.

Hi Drew,

Is creating a new field type a big job? I always find that when I'm doing bespoke development on Perch, I can't seem to find any docs for app development beyond the basics.

Are there docs available for creating and handling a new field type?

The docs are here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/api/field-types/

And there's examples on our add-ons site too.
