 * Hi,
 * In cformsII
    the checkbox group alters the ID which causes the data to be lost
   when sent to the 3rd party integration.
 * ex.
    In c-formsII, I input the id as id:12345 when I Inspect the form, I find
   that each checkbox gets a new id {cb1 = id:12345-1, cb2 = id:12345-2, so on}.
   Each checkbox needs to have the same, and original, id (“12345”) for the information
   to be logged on the 3rd part platform. the id:12345-1 is interpreted as wrong
   and the info doesn’t get reported.
 * Am I the only one who this is a problem for?
    Can it be fixed?

 * The described behaviour is intended. HTML IDs have to be unique for the document,
   so you are suggesting invalid HTML. Why don’t you just use several checkboxes(
   not a group) or make the 3rd party integration process the input’s names instead
   of their IDs? What is this 3rd party integration exactly?

 * Btw, in HTML < 5, IDs have to start with a letter. Maybe this is the problem.
