* '''Values''': The values to be used for each check box delimited by a semi-colon with no spaces

'''Note:''' If you want the value(s) ''stored'' in the field to be different from what is ''displayed'' beside the check boxes you can use the following syntax in the '''Values''' section:

''StoreValue1=DisplayValue1;StoreValue2=DisplayValue2;StoreValue3=DisplayValue3;

The value '''before''' the equal sign will be stored. The value '''after''' the equal sign is what will be displayed by each check box, but does not get saved.

* This technique is important when translating to other languages. The '''StoreValue''' must be the same in all languages. See [[Custom Field Language Settings|here]] for further information.
