# Dashboard Checkbox Selection

 * If I select in the backend according to self-defined categories as a checkbox,
   they will take over the store in the frontend. But if I call the product again
   for further processing in the backend, then no more checkboxes are selected. 
   Thus, it is no longer recognizable in the backend which categories (self-created
   fields) the product is assigned. We use the latest WordPress version with PHP
   7.2. – Are there similar incidents of other users who have the same problem and
   have you found a solution for it?

 * Hi talkuvit,
 * We’re sorry, we didn’t quite understand what you meant by “If I select in the
   backend according to self-defined categories as a checkbox, they will take over
   the store in the frontend.”, so we need to ask:
 * 1) Where are you selecting these categories (e.g. in the Edit Catalogue page…
   in the Edit Product page..)?
 * 2) By “self-defined categories as a checkbox” are you referring to Custom Fields
   you’ve created? If so, can you let us know what the “Type” is set as, as well
   as the “Input Values” (if applicable)?
 * 3) Could you send us the URL of your catalogue?
 * If it helps, you can add screenshots in this thread of what you’re seeing ([https://postimg.org](https://postimg.org)
   is an easy way to do it)

 * If you edit your custom field, scroll down to the point where you added “input”
 * “Input values”, are there spaces between the values?
 * If so, remove the spaces!
 * Spaces were removed and the error was corrected.
