Ideas on indenting certain items in a long Gravity Forms checkbox list

[Toby Cryns]

Hi!  I have a Gravity Form using the free Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types add-on.  I'm using it to populate a checkbox field, and it works great, except that plugin does not support visual hierarchies in the checkbox field (only in the dropdown field).  So I have a couple of questions:

1. Do you have any ideas about how I might get a visual hierarchy working using Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types with a checkbox field?
2. Any alternate ideas on how to achieve a visual hierarchy with a Gravity Forms checkbox field? (The form must create a post type, and the checkboxes must map to the categories on the post type.)

To view the issue live on the web, see the "Teaching Areas" checkbox field at https://adjunctconnect.org/adjunct-submission-profile/.

Thanks in advance for your ideas and help!

Hi Toby,

You can use the GF filter that let's you assign choices to checkboxes, and iterate through the list of categories in that function. Then you can prepend a dash or non-breaking-space for lower levels (recursively, for multiple indents). The checkboxes will still be lined up with each other, but the labels/answers will be indented.

Alternatively, if you aren't planning on changing the categories, you can target them with css individually by the unique classes in their divs (e.g. gchoice gchoice_3_44_3) to indent the checkboxes themselves, but that would be tedious!

Neat - I didn't know about the GF Field Choices filter.   

Thank you!

Me neither! I would have gone the tedious CSS route!  I love learning a new GF trick.
