I was speaking more about the repeater loop and your attempt at using get_sub_field_object() so that I might see what you are doing wrong.

This is a simple loop that will get a sub field object and output that object to the page so you can see what you’re working with.

if (get_field('repeater')) {
    while (has_sub_field('repeater')) {
        echo '<pre>'; print_r(get_sub_field_object('checkbox')); echo '</pre>';
    }
}

The output of this looks something like this:

Array
(
    [ID] => 545
    [key] => field_558ef367f2c80
    [label] => checkbox
    [name] => checkbox
    [prefix] => 
    [type] => checkbox
    [value] => Array
        (
            [0] => choice1
            [1] => choice2
        )

    [menu_order] => 0
    [instructions] => 
    [required] => 0
    [id] => 
    [class] => 
    [conditional_logic] => 0
    [parent] => 544
    [wrapper] => Array
        (
            [width] => 
            [class] => 
            [id] => 
        )

    [_name] => checkbox
    [_input] => 
    [_valid] => 1
    [choices] => Array
        (
            [choice1] => Choice 1
            [choice2] => Choice 2
            [choice3] => Choice 3
            [choice4] => Choice 4
        )

    [default_value] => Array
        (
            [] => 
        )

    [layout] => vertical
    [toggle] => 0
)

There area that you’ll get your labels from is in the index [choices]. You’ll need to loop through that array and compare the values in the returned values array with the values these values to get the labels.

Hope that helps.
