I may be really misinterpreting here, but from what I read, checkbox multiple values binary works this way:
box1=1
box2=2
box3=4
box4=8
If you check box 2 and box 3, the value of the checkbox field is 6 and that is what should go in the database. Instead I am getting 2:4 as if it were a delimited checkbox with a semi-colon delimiter. Did I miss something or does this simply not work?
Edited to add: I understand you can loop a foreach to get the total, but from the documentation it looked like that was done for you. Apparently the only thing binary does it assign the values 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ad nauseum. Possibly just misleading documentation.
