I love Airtable and Forms. Would like to request a future feature request that would allow multi-select to be checkboxes instead of selecting from a drop-down list. I’ve found It is not intuitive to the end user to select multiple options by selecting the ‘select option’ button. A temporary fix might be once one option is selected to change the button to read ‘select another option’. The problem is if you have a hundred options, a checkbox would allow the user to see all the options.

Thanks for all Airtable is doing to improve communication and eliminate the need for attachments and countless frustrating emails!

Quite often I wish I had a three-way toggle for checkboxes: unchecked, checked, N/A.

Multi-select checkboxes is in beta right now. You can request access through this form (and see an example of its functionality/appearance)

The feature request is referred to as: “Display form options as a list”

FYI, they made this an official feature.
