When you set up a google form with a "checkboxes" question like this:

Which roles are you willing to fill?
[ ] Welcoming
[ ] Morning tea 
[ ] Coffee machine

then the resulting google sheet has a column with comma-separated values such as

Morning tea (except coffee machine)
Welcoming,Coffee machine
etc

In getting this data ready for Jethro import I've resorted to a custom function in google apps script, which looks within column X for occurrences of the phrase Y, and if so puts value Z for Jethro to digest (usually in a 'group' column).

To make it easier for others, Jethro could do this logic for you.

You'd include the untransformed comma-separated data in a column
and set a special column header like this:
group[Morning Tea Volunteers 2025]if{Morning tea}
(Interpretation: If the value contains "morning tea", add them to a group "Morning Tea Volunteers 2025")

More sophisticated version
group[Men's Ministry Team]if{men's}not{women's}
