Choice generated dynamically does not support multiple

ASpahiu — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 07:23:59 GMT

I am trying to create a choice module, that has some options generated dinamically. After creating it, I want to have the possibility to multiple select choices from this, similarly how a choice field works on modules when "Allow selection of multiple options" is activated.
Code:
{% choice "multi_choice_field" label="multiple choice" display="select" choices=[ [ "option-1", "Option 1" ], [ "option-2", "Option 2" ] ] multiple=true %}
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi @ASpahiu

We’ve shared some code with you, including different conditions. Please check it once—hopefully, it will work. If not, kindly share the page with us, and we’ll take a look and provide guidance.

Update code:

{% choice "multi_choice_field" label="multiple choice" display="checkbox"  choices=[ [ "option-1", "Option 1" ], [ "option-2", "Option 2" ] ] multiple=true %}

If you want to generate options dynamically, you can do so by using HubL loops. Here's an example of how you can generate choices dynamically:

{% set options = [ { "value": "option-1", "label": "Option 1" }, { "value": "option-2", "label": "Option 2" }, { "value": "option-3", "label": "Option 3" } ] %} {% choice "multi_choice_field" label="multiple choice" display="checkbox" multiple=true choices=options %}

If you prefer to keep the dropdown style but allow multiple selections, you’ll need to manually adjust the HTML using the select tag and enable multiple selections like this:

<select name="multi_choice_field" multiple> {% for option in options %} <option value="{{ option.value }}">{{ option.label }}</option> {% endfor %} </select>

Hello @GRajput
Thanks for following up.
I have tried this approach earlier and it doesn't work.
I do not think that what I am trying to do is possible, after confronting official Hubspot Documentation.
On the choice tag, the only parameters that could be added are value and choices, and this means that this dynamically generated choice module doesn't behave like the usual choice field on modules.
Thanks for reaching out
