But I've realised that I'll need this as a Custom Post Type with Taxonomies, so problem solved in one respect, but back to the drawing board (as you can't select your taxonomies as you can your categories in a drop down at present). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/categories-as-checkbox-not-only-dropdowns#post-37977 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:48:55 +0000 walkeryri 37977@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Will this be in the next, imminent, release??? </p> <p>I've only used your product for 28 hours and already it's done all I expected it to do and more - but this is a final essential choice on my form (I have to split my categories up to make it easier for the user and only choose one category, but I need a final selection of four where they can choose them all in theory. Maybe it's there and I've missed it! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/categories-as-checkbox-not-only-dropdowns#post-27457 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:14:07 +0000 Carl Hancock 27457@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We are currently working on other development right now, but 1.5.3 is tentatively planned for July.

I really need this function because it looks so crappy otherwise. It looks unprofessional with 80 categories when I can't let people do multiple selections. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/categories-as-checkbox-not-only-dropdowns#post-5093 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:06:06 +0000 Carl Hancock 5093@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We will be adding the ability to have checkboxes in the future, it's tough because if you have a lot of categories... it could be a LOT of checkboxes. But I guess it's up to the user.</p> <p>For now you can add multiple Post Category fields to a form, it will save all of them. so if you want them to select 3 categories, you can add 3 Post Category fields to your form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/categories-as-checkbox-not-only-dropdowns#post-5091 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:11:07 +0000 moikirsch 5091@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It would be great to be able to add to select more than one categorie. </p>
