why do all checkboxes in pdf check when one is clicked?

Question

hello there, I bet there is a simple solution to this but I just can't figure it out and have not found it in the forum

all checkboxes in my pdf form check unbidden when clicking on one

- I copy pasted a row of checkboxes to make aligning easier, checkboxes have an individual number each, so same field names are not the issue.

(I need multiple checkboxes with the possibility to check all the ones applying.

No frills, don't need to hide anything, no 'uncheck x if y is checked'...

Read something about export value in the forum but cannot find any such thing in the properties, please advise!

The only way that would happen is if they all have the same name. A #0 , #1, etc at the end of the name in the field listing does not mean the fields have different names. In fact it means they do have the same name, and are all the same field. You need to change the field names manually.
