I have a form that a user would fill out while creating a ticket for a bug they have found on our website. In the form there is currently an input field where the user would enter in the designs that the bug is affecting (ex., "Design1, Design2, Design3, Design4" ...etc). When the form is submitted the value is stored in a table column named `affectedDesigns`.

What i am wanting to do is create several checkboxes (one check box for each design we have) that a user would select instead of using the input field. They would be able to select all that apply. If possible i would still like to store all of the values into the `affectedDesigns` column in one record. I'm thinking that i can gather the selected checkboxes values and create an array or some comma delimited value that contains all of the selected items and submit that to the databasein the one record in the `affectedDesigns` column. How can i achieve this?

Also, how would i then pull that data and re-populate the checkboxes if they would like to go back later and edit the ticket? Thanks for any help!
