It is something we will be adding, although probably not in the 1.5 release as we are trying to get it out the door relatively soon. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12804 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 12:29:28 +0000 jcollier 12804@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are there any plans for providing a checkbox interface for the categories in addition to a drop-down box? </p> <p>My architecture is dependent on multi-faceted classification and, with about 60 categories, it's not practical to add 60 category drop-downs.</p> <p>Thanks for considering this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12779 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 17:15:05 +0000 Carl Hancock 12779@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, that would add each category selected to the post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12778 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 16:40:42 +0000 JordashTalon 12778@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@carl</p> <p>Oh ok,</p> <p>So I was thinking I could have 3 Category Fields</p> <p>Main Category<br /> Sub-Category<br /> Sub-Category 2 (Optional)</p> <p>So that would add every category they selected to the list? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12775 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:53:56 +0000 Sheila 12775@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>YEAH!!! Thanks. When can we expect another beta release OR even better the final public release? Can't wait! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12773 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:33:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 12773@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>It will be in the 1.5 release. We will have an option on the Post Category field to add a default first option (that doesn't save as a value) and you can type in what the first option should say (such as "Please Select Category"). </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12771 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 13:52:16 +0000 Sheila 12771@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm doing this now. The problem is that there's no way to set the default to a non-category. That means that if they don't choose one, you get the first one in the list. Even with no dupes turned on it's a problem. I have this in as a feature request. I just hope it makes into the 1.5 release. I'm desperate for this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/option-for-them-to-select-multiple-categories#post-12759 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 11:29:10 +0000 Carl Hancock 12759@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, you would have to add multiple Post Category fields to your form and then instruct them to select multiple categories. </p>
