Answered Trouble saving a particular Formit field (checkbox array) to custom database

Okay so I have a formit form that saves submissions to a custom database table, however all the checkbox/radio fields gets saved into the table as "array" rather than the correct value.

This is my hook that saves the form to the database, it works:
```
$base_path = !empty($base_path) ? $base_path : $modx->getOption('core_path').'components/mysubmissions/‘;
$modx->addPackage('mysubmissions',$base_path.'model/');
$submission_form = $modx->newObject(‘Mysubmissions');
$submission_form->fromArray($scriptProperties['fields']);
$submission_form->save();
return true;
```
This is what I am adding above $submission_form->save(); to try and get one of my radio fields to save properly:
```
$time_values = $hook->getValue('time_values');
if (is_array($time_values)){
	$time_values = implode(',',$time_values);
	$hook->setValue('time_values', $time_values);
}
```
I have done a ton of Googling and cannot get this to work it either still shows up as "array" or just a blank value. Even if I just try hardcoding the value with $hook->setValue('time_values', 'DO SOMETHING'); it doesn't work. This is my HTML for the field i'm testing btw:
```
<input type="hidden" name="time_values[]" value="" />
<input type="radio" name="time_values[]" value="Morning" />
<input type="radio" name="time_values[]" value="Afternoon" />
```
What am I doing wrong??

Okay, I figured it out. Of course, right after I post this.

Instead of this:
```
$hook->setValue('time_values', $time_values);
```
It should have been:
```
$submission_form->set('time_values',$time_values);
```
