Variable number of checkboxes in a matrix format

[amitfalana]

Hello,
I need to dynamically create multiple check-boxes, which are displayed in the below format:
A B C
P X X X
Q X X X
R X X X

OR

A B C D
P X X X X
Q X X X X

Where 'X' represent the checkboxes and 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'P', 'Q' and 'R' are the values which a user would have entered in another form earlier (Assume A, B, C, D as student names and P, Q, R as hobbies and now the user has to make tick the hobbies against students!). So essentially I need to create dynamic check-boxes based upon what the user entered earlier. How can this be achieved.
Also, I am open to other suggestions to achieve this without check-boxes... Such as dropdowns with multiple selections. But the issue I see with this options is that I need to dynamically create dropdowns, which Fabrik won't allow. Right?

Thanks for your continued support.

You can create dynamic checkboxes or dropdowns with "Eval populate" in checkbox or dropdown element "Advanced"

Thanks @troester for your positive response.
Although I haven't been able to get this working yet.
I am able to create the labels (and values) dynamically using the JHTML (select.option). But still I have been unable to position checkboxes in a grid (something similar to https://storage.googleapis.com/support-forums-api/attachment/thread-8026624-14456878414436385863.jpg).
Is that possible through the "Eval populate"? Any threads/old answers which I can follow please?

I don't think I've seen anyone post any kind of solution to that.

Not sure it's even possible with CSS, as the data is being created o the fly.

Thanks @cheesegrits. I will keep this thread open and hope for some kind of solution/direction in near future!
