Ahhhh it's me again :)

I don't think I've asked this yet tho there's a small ringing in the
back of my grey matter that says I have... If I have, I apologize for
the duplicate question, but I can't seem to find it anywhere when I
search the group.

Anyways, I have a custom type "destinations" and a custom type "tour
companies" (wow, sounds alot like the example in the dev handbook so
far). Destinations is a simple name, description type. No issues
whatsoever. Tour companies is all of the company's relevant info
(name, addr, website, phone, etc) and that's no problem. But I want to
be able to have a list of destinations available as checkboxes when
adding/editing tour companies. I can build out the front-end no
problem where it groups by destinations and links to the tour
companies detail page so I'm not concerned about that.

I could build a dropdown that pulls the destinations no problem with
the following code:

<cfproperty ftSeq="1"
  ftFieldSet="Details"
  name="destinations"
  type="string"
  required="false"
  hint="Destinations"
  ftLabel="Destinations"
  ftType="UUID"
  ftRenderType="list"
  ftShowLibraryLink="false"
  ftJoin="destinations" />

But I don't want a dropdown. If I have the following code for creating
checkboxes, what do I have to change?

<cfproperty ftSeq="3"
  ftFieldSet="Details"
  name="destinations"
  type="longchar"
  required="true"
  hint="Destinations"
  ftLabel="Destinations"
  ftType="list"
  ftRenderType="checkbox"
  ftLayout="Yes"
  ftList="Yes,No"
  ftValidation="required" />

For instance, the ftType is different. Should it remain UUID? I'm
guessing it should. ftRenderType I would think would be checkbox. And
what about type, string or longchar? And finally, how would the ftList
be populated? What goes there?

For those fairly observant, ftLayout is something I added where if
it's "Yes" then it puts the checkboxes in columns side by side instead
of a single column (it determines how many total there are, divides by
5 and that's how many columns are displayed, rounded up). I needed to
add this because one of the other custom types I created had roughly
50 options and, well, that was insane :)

Anyways, if you can help out or point me in the right direction, I
would appreciate it.
