    I have ACF fields to my listing CPT, and one of the fields have multi-select checkbox values as full time, part time, self-study
    I have in my excelsheet all these three values (full-time: no, part-time: no, self-study: yes and so on for all the elements)
    How can I map these values so a correct checkbox is checked when I do import

    Hey @cinghaman

    If you’re using our ACF add-on, then you’ll need to put the slugs of the checkboxes ( separated by commas ) in the ACF field. Going based on your example string, a custom PHP function in the import could be used to return the values – here’s an example snippet:

    function my_get_checkboxes( $data ) {
	$data = explode( ",", $data );
	$return = array();
	
	if ( !empty( $data ) ) {
		foreach( $data as $items ) {
			$items = explode( ":", $items );
			if ( trim( $items[1] ) == 'yes' ) {
				$return[] = trim( $items[0] );
			}
		}
	}
	return ( empty( $return ) ) ? implode( ",", $data ) : implode( ",", $return );
}

    If you’re not using the ACF add-on, then you can use our API to import the values: http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/action-reference/
