Hi Jamal,

Could you please let me know if the select field can be used in a form as a multiple selection field ? so that user has the possibility to choose several options.

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

Currently, there is no such feature as multi-select for select fields. The only field that supports multi-selection is the checkboxes field and it seems to not deliver on the features you want to have.

Can you give more details about your use case? Maybe we can suggest another solution to conditionally display the custom fields.
Can you give a concrete example of the fields that you want to conditionally show/hide and the values that will be used in the conditions?

Hi Jamal, thanks for your answer. Indeed I wanted to use the checkboxes field type to conditionaly display another field, but as you said it's not a supported feature. But it's fine and I have found a solution by spliting into multiple checkbox fields.

Best,
Florent
