What version are you on? I for the life of me cannot reproduce this issue. I am using Forms v9.1.1.1517

 

EDIT: Never mind, when I left the page and came back, it appeared.

 

So I know this may sound annoying, but  this is likely due to a restriction enforced by HTML and the form fields that LF Forms uses. Here is how I got around it:

 

Using the explicit code for a space allows that the field will not be considered a duplicate and the (1) will not appear at the end of the field.

The addition of the (#) is due to the fact that the "text" of the choice is the same as something above it.  I know it does not look symmetrical and pretty, but why not just add one more "_" then the line above?  This will allow Forms to add it without trying to append the number.

I am confused as to how you are getting that result? Are you just clicking on the checkbox field and selecting "Duplicate"? If so, you should just be able to edit that second field to have different values. 

 

If that is not the case, please post the screenshot of that checkbox from the "Edit" page to get a better understanding

 

EDIT:

It appears you are using a table to do this stuff. Are you perhaps using Javascript to modify the tail ends of some of the fields? I think this is what is causing the problem when you repeat things. Otherwise, it is a matter of you removing those characters from the field definition

The highlighted numbers are automatically populated by Laserfiche Forms.

Editing above response with a solution. Looks like you have two options to get the utility you are looking for.
