How to create a new field that will allow for multiple selections to be chosen

This question has suggested answer(s)

I am trying to figure out how I can create a new field that will allow users to choose multiple options as their selection. In other words several options to choose from and you can choose 3 of the 6 as your information.  I am guessing this is probably over my head and will require some code. Any help would be appreciated.

    However, you might have to check it every time update roll ups are released.

  • try using separate checkbox for each option and in this way you can select multiple checkboxes at the same time

  • Another option could be creating a single picklist and a text field, and putting both in the form. Then, with javascript, you can get that, when selecting an option from the picklist, the text of that option will be set in the text field and if you select another option the text will be set in the text field as well, separating them, for example, by a semicolon character.

    This way you will have only one field that contains the information of all the options you want.

  • How about creating a n:n relationship beetween the current entity and the new entity (which will contain your picklist options as records).
