User defined checkbox list in Panel

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

I’m seeing other topics related to this with much more complicated scenarios for generating panel fields with plugins and so forth, but I thought I would ask about my simple scenario.

How can I create a blueprint for a checkbox list such that the panel user defines the list of items and can check or uncheck each item? Is there a way to do this with a structured field?

The easiest way to do this would be to use a tags field in a parent page or the site settings and then have your checkboxes field query that field as shown in the docs --> Option from other field

This seems perfect. I’m having some trouble getting this to work however. I’m probably missing something really simple.

So on the parent page, uid apparel I have:

  options_list:
    label: Options List
    type: tags

and on the page in question I have this:

  item_options:
    label: Item Options
    type: checkboxes 
    options: field
    field:
      page: apparel
      name: options_list

I put in some dummy tags, and… nothing? Just the label shows up.

The path to the page is probably not correct, try:

item_options:
    label: Item Options
    type: checkboxes 
    options: field
    field:
      page: ../apparel
      name: options_list

Ooook, I upgraded from 2.2.3 to 2.3.0 and that solved the problem. I didn’t realize this was a new feature.

There is an corresponding issue at https://github.com/getkirby/getkirby.com/issues/262 to show the old features.
