Multi Select Pricing Field

    Hey. I am using WooCommerce in combination with Gravity Forms. Love it. I am just wondering, why is it that I can not have a multi select pricing field? I mean, isn't the code already there?

    Has anyone explored a way to make this happen?

    Thanks.

  2. Right now our Product Field, as you see, doesn't have a checkbox option. In order for this to work, you will need to make each "option" it's own product, and just list them.

    What are your products and/or what does your setup look like?

    It's a pool cue website.

    I am using WooCommerce with the plugin http://www.woothemes.com/extension/gravityforms-product-addons/ in combination with Gravity Forms.

    My form setup looks like:

    (all pricing fields)

    Product:
    - Type: Hidden
    - Price: $0

    Option (weight):
    - Type: Drop Down
    - 18oz
    - 19oz
    - 20oz
    - 21oz

    Option (shaft):
    - Type: Drop Down
    - shaft 1...
    - shaft 2...
    - shaft 3...

    --------------

    The above are the required fields and my client likes to have more fields with extra add on items. See below for an example of the rest of the form...

    Option (addon 1):
    - Type: Drop Down
    - addon
    - addon
    - addon

    Option (addon 2):
    - Type: Drop Down
    - addon
    - addon
    - addon

    Option (addon 3):
    - Type: Drop Down
    - addon
    - addon
    - addon

    Option (addon 4):
    - Type: Drop Down
    - addon
    - addon
    - addon

    ----

    Now instead of doing this and making the page super long, why not have a multi-select drop down? There is already one under Standard Fields -> Multi-Select. I can't use this though because I need it to have pricing attributes...

    Here is an example of what I would want:

    Option (addons):
    - Type: Multi-Select
    - addon 1 - 1
    - addon 1 - 2
    - addon 1 - 3
    - addon 1 - 4
    - addon 2 - 1
    - addon 2 - 2
    - addon 2 - 3
    - addon 2 - 4
    - addon 3 - 1
    - addon 3 - 2
    - addon 3 - 3
    - addon 3 - 4
    - addon 4 - 1
    - addon 4 - 2
    - addon 4 - 3
    - addon 4 - 4

    Does any of this make sense ? If not I can try to clear it up a bit

  4. The multi-select input type is a field that isn't very user friendly from a UI standpoint. It's a field that wasn't even available in Gravity Forms as a standard field until fairly recently. The enhanced JS UI that we offer for it makes it more user friendly, but it's still kind of a strange field to utilize for pricing fields.

    There are more complexities involved from a UI and user experience standpoint because Pricing adds more complexities that have to be taken into account.
