Filter Function For Checkbox Field

Question

Currently trying to setup a filter in one of my scenarios. I've created a checkbox field that has several different values that users can select upon request time. If there is only one value selected then I would like Fusion to route it to another setup of modules. If there is multiple values selected then it would go a different route.

What is an easy way to set this up and make sure that it reads the values?

I know there is functions but I've not successfully setup one.

Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated!

Also here is another approach that tells you how many items are in the array. This approach would survive the depreciation I mentioned earlier

Add value(s) to empty array,

Flatten array of arrays if more than 1 value,

Get length of array

Currently as it is checkbox like fields read one value as a string and multiple as an array. They might be changing this soon and making it always read as an array but I don't remember exactly as I read the patch notes a while ago.

When dealing with these fields I will just use the toString() function and use indexOf() to check for index of commas as those are what indicate array values. If its not equal to -1 then there are more than 1.

Assuming you have no commas in these fields this would work. If you do have commas, then search for either [ or ]. If they implement the change I mentioned earlier this would not work.
