Populate multiple checkboxes

[codetestmg]

I am trying to mark checkbox to be marked based on database values .

public function prepopulateHorizontalForm(Request $request){
        Former::populate([
                 'name'=>'former',
                'checkbox_multiple'=>[
                    'apple',
                    'cherry',
                  'banana'
                ]
        ]);

        return view('former.pre-populate-horizontal');
  }

and in view file

{!! Former::checkboxes('checkbox_multiple[]')
                                ->checkboxes([
                                    'Apple' => ['value'=>'apple',], 
                                    'Banana' => ['value'=>'banana'],
                                    'Cherry' => ['value'=>'cherry'],
                                    'Mango' => ['value'=>'mango']
                                    ])
                                  !!}

But its not marking checkbox as marked based on value. Using laravel 12 with latest version of former package

Note : i gone through few github issues and tried but it didn't work .
Even this issue (#523) works but it need manually call check() method .I am trying to check the checkbox using populate method

I was able to solve using below method using (#302)

  'checkbox_multiple'=>[
                        'apple'=>'apple',
                        'cherry'=> 'cherry',
                        'banana'=> 'banana'
                ],

and in blade

 {!! Former::checkboxes('checkbox_multiple[]')
                                ->checkboxes([
                                      'Apple' => ['value'=>'apple','id'=>'checkbox_multiple_0','name'=>'checkbox_multiple[apple]'],
                                    'Banana' => ['value'=>'banana','id'=>'checkbox_multiple_1','name'=>'checkbox_multiple[banana]'],
                                    'Cherry' => ['value'=>'cherry','id'=>'checkbox_multiple_2','name'=>'checkbox_multiple[cherry]'],
                                    'Mango' => ['value'=>'mango','id'=>'checkbox_multiple_3','name'=>'checkbox_multiple[mango]']
                                    ])
                                  !!}

is there any better sollution for this ,Thanks
