SelectCheckboxes component issue

Hello,

 

I've got a selectcheckboxes component on a VF page;

<apex:pageBlockSection title="Product" columns="2">  
	<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >    
		<apex:outputText value="{!$ObjectType.Household_Search__c.fields.PolicyType__c.label}"/>    
		<apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!policyTypes}" layout="pageDirection">      
			<apex:selectOptions value="{!policyTypeOptions}"/>    
		</apex:selectCheckboxes>  
	</apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
 
And the  associated controller;
 
// Multi-select search properties	
public List<String> policyTypes {get;set;}	
public List<SelectOption> policyTypeOptions {get{return getOptions(Household_Search__c.PolicyType__c.getDescribe());}}
 
private List<SelectOption> getOptions(Schema.DescribeFieldResult f) {		
	List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();		
	for (Schema.PicklistEntry entry : f.getPicklistValues()) {			
		options.add(new SelectOption(entry.getLabel(), entry.getValue()));		
	}		
	return options;	
}
 
When I save the page, I'm receiving the following error; 
Conversion Error setting value 'AUTO LIFE' for '#{policyTypes}'.
  
 
 
Any ideas?
 
Many thanks,
Dan

I think you need to swap the parameters passed to the SelectOption constructor - value first then label.
