- MarkShnierQrew CadetHuh? Don't understand the question.
- ChristieChristiQrew MemberI want to make multiple choices on a drop down list, is this feature available yet?
- MarkShnierQrew CadetThere has always been a field type called text - Multiple choice. So is that all you are looking for. Or go to any text field and edit the field properties to make it a multiple choice field. Or maybe we are not understanding the question as you are asking if its available "yet".
- KeithJusasQrew CaptainI believe Christie wants to be able to select more that one choice from a multiple choice field, is that correct?
- MarkShnierQrew CadetNo. You cannot make multiple selections. The best you can do is to have a series of separate checkboxes where the users check off say [Orange] [Red] and [Blue] and then display that back in a formula text field such as
List(",",
IF([orange],"Orange"),
IF([red],"Red"),
IF([blue],"Blue")) - ChristieChristiQrew MemberThis is what I was asking sorry if I was unclear.
- ArchiveUserQrew Captainwoul dlove to see the muliple options also
- ArchiveUserQrew CaptainNo, I dont think there is any option to select multiple answers from a drop down.
- LauraThackerQrew CaptainIn general a multiple-choice field is where a user selects only ONE of the options; not "check all that apply", which is the approach you are trying to achieve. Mark's solution is the recommended way of handling "check all that apply" situations in QuickBase
- ArchiveUserQrew CaptainI'd also love to see a "check all that apply" field option created in the future. While I've made the multiple, separate checkbox fields work for us, they are exactly that, separate fields. It creates issues sometimes with reporting, space management, etc.
