Output multicheck selection into cpt’s edit page in a custom column

Resolved

(@eliwbbr)

I’m adding custom columns to the overview page (edit.php) of a custom post type called Products. One of those columns should output the user selection from a multicheck field. Unfortunately that is not happening. Here is that particular snippet from my functions file:


/* If displaying the 'product type' column. */
case 'type' :
	/* Get the product type for the post. */
	$types = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_cmb2_type_multicheckbox', true );
	foreach ( (array) $types as $key => $type ) {
		echo $type;
	}
	/* If no product type was found, output a default message. */
	else {
		_e( 'Unknown' );
	}
break;

Any suggestions?

Correction:
This is the snippet from my functions file for that particular item:
```
/* If displaying the 'product type' column. */
case 'type' :
	/* Get the product type for the post. */
	$types = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_cmb2_type_multicheckbox', true );
	foreach ( (array) $types as $key => $type ) {
		echo $type;
	/* If no product type was found, output a default message. */
			if ( empty( $type ) )
				echo __( 'Unknown' );
			/* If there is a dimension, append 'minutes' to the text string. */
			else
				printf( __( '' ), $type );
	}
break;

Are you familiar with the column field parameter, for outputting meta in custom columns? https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Field-Parameters#column and https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/blob/trunk/example-functions.php#L129-L153
