Is there an issue with showing an Admin Column for a Checkbox List selection? i have a group with a single top-level Checkbox List field with three options, i've enabled Admin Columns in the AIO extensions and for the field itself, given it a custom column title, and set it to filterable. Nothing. What am i doing wrong?

Hello Andrew,

I don't see that issue on my demo site, screenshot https://imgur.com/pwN5ePG
You can export the field group to a JSON file and share it here. I will help you to check the issue.

And please note that, the filterable feature only works with the taxonomy field. Read more in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-admin-columns/

Hello,

You should add the column ID instead of the column title to display the admin column, it should be product_cat, not Categories. Screenshot https://imgur.com/ep6eNHa

Regarding the default _id field, it is a hidden-standard custom field of the field group when using the builder. We shouldn't touch this field or get rid of it.

no, wait! i am trying to add a second MB admin column after a first one, and that's not working. what does work is if it is adjacent to a default woo column. but not if i'm trying to specify it's position in relation to another MB column. so: before default woo 'date' works, but after custom MB 'product_line' doesn't. i'm following your correction, to specify the column postion using the column ID, and i'm trying to put 'product_routine' AFTER 'product_line' but it doesn't work. putting 'product_routine' BEFORE woo 'date' does. can you have a look at this for me please?
