Hello!
I had the same issue and managed to solve it by looking into the settings of the “broken” form.
I noticed that the German translation of check box (“Kontrollkästchen”) was selected as the input type and that right below this there was an option called “checkbox-multiple”. After I selected this one and saved the settings that ugly error message was gone! 🙂
Hope that helps!
Cheers
Yes, but, if you have more than one option and only want one checked this doesn’t help.
I’m having a real problem with this one too!
It seems to have appeared out of nowhere with a form I’ve been happily using for 18 months! Surely it must be the recent update? I’ve just noticed the recent update note says:
3.1.5.4
(12 May 2012) – Better detection of checkbox config errors.
Thing is . . . . I’ve checked my coding via the FastSecureContact Form website instructions. see link
http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/how-to-add-extra-fields
and I can’t see any error!!!
The code I used in 2 of the extra fields (when I originally built the forms 18 months ago) are as follows:
{inline},BA;MA;PHD;Other
&
{inline},French;German;Italian;Spanish;Mandarin;Other
The form which these parameters are used in is here:

Any ideas anyone?
when you’re using a single check box make sure the type is checkbox.
Do not use type checkbox-multiple for a single check box
These are both incorrect as the are mussing the label before the comma
{inline},BA;MA;PHD;Other
&
{inline},French;German;Italian;Spanish;Mandarin;Other
Like this would be correct
{inline}Qualifications,BA;MA;PHD;Other
&
{inline}Languages,French;German;Italian;Spanish;Mandarin;Other
Mike, I’ve tried the last example you have above and replaced the text for my own criteria but it’s not working.
Mine is at http://avaa.asn.au/join-now/
I have tried so many different variations but still can’t get it to work.
I am also having the same issue and can not figure it out. You can view the form here: Rebuild Hi-Tor Test page
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
Ok. so i went thru the rest of the forum and found it in a answer from 2 years ago. I had a “,” in the label.
Version 4.0 is coming soon and extra fields will be really easy.
no more comas semicolons to separate the options
Label: Languages
Options: (inside a textarea)
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Mandarin
Other
Thank You for the “,” clue! That was my problem!
I too have tried everything without any result. Can you take a peek at this site:

tomgeijn,
Follow the instructions exactly. If you need help, post what you have set for the extra field label
http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/how-to-add-extra-fields
Well. I’ve read it now about thirty times but I really can’t see what I’m doing wrong.
I’ve put this in the extra field: Activiteit:,voorjaarscursus;najaarscursus;clinic
And the label Activiteit is set as checkbox-multiple.
That label was fine but now you have an error because you it set to checkbox? Try a different type: Checkbox-multiple, Radio, Select, or Select-multiple
I had set checkbox-multiple.
Now I’ve set the “Radio” configuration, again with the same disappointing result.
Can you please take a look at it?
There is a field called attributes. Add a comma to that box.
Then if you have multiple check box selected you would add the comma first, then comma separate the variables.
Note: Make sure your label does not have any commas in it.
