The idea is to have a Multiple Select Drop-down, which can enable a form visitor to select multiple options for a property by clicking on a dropdown and searching for an option. This would essentially be an altrenative for Multiple Checkbox Field Type, for when there’s too many options in the property. I’ve recently faced this issue, where I have a Contact Property field with about 250 different options, with the ability to have multiple options associated to the property. I need to insert this Property into one of my forms, and I find that having this property as a Multiple Checkbox means that the form becomes extraordinarily long, and I have to make the user scroll through each and every option to find the ones relevant to them, along with scrolling through all the 250 options to get to the next form field. This makes for an incredibly bad user experience on the form, and I’m bound to have an insane bounce rate due to this. There seems to be no other usable alternative as of now. I’m using a multi-select dropdown in my Jotforms at the moment. As much as I’d love to move all my forms to Hubspot, the lack of this field type makes it quite difficult for me. The form I’m using now looks like this: ![Screenshot 2020-01-17 at 14.42.12.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/8/8ea187cb8e51a5b91d686819e4db287f414fb462.png) ---

Right now there is only option to choose a single value from the select box, it would be great if there are multiple choices for the user to select from select box. If I choose checkbox instead there is a long list and form goes long down, that’s weird as per design prospective. ---

Second that idea, it would be super helpful! ---

A multi-select dropdown would be incredibly helpful. Or another option would be for a checkbox list with 10 options and over to display in 2 columns as opposed to one very long one. ---

please make this happen Hubspot! Multiselect properties in forms right now are only usable with a very reduced amount of options, otherwise the list gets tooooooooooo long ---

@JHogan4 How can I implement it into a form? ---

Please add a form field option for multi-select dropdowns. The existing answer, “just use all these checkboxes,” is not helpful in all (or possibly even many) circumstances -- it will often create a form that is long, clunky, and inelegant. Speaking as a developer, it should be child’s play for Hubspot developers to add this capability, and the impact of NOT having it is potentially high. ---

Hi dsdewhir, Have you found a possible work around or CSS code to make this change possible? We are looking around the forum first to see if anyone has been able to implement this before coding it ourselves. ---

Hi @LCSKMiller -- No, we’re just using the multi-select checkbox option until multi-select dropdowns are added, if ever. Wish I had a better answer for you! ---

Rats - I’ve found some JS ways to do it but I’d rather use the core functionality as is vs coding it on our own. Thanks anyway! ---

Yes -- all things are possible one way or another, I just don’t want to get into doing a bunch of custom coding for this particular issue when the client felt that the mutliple checkboxes were acceptable on their end. ---

We totally need this. I have a list of countries and a list of languages where a user needs to be able to select more than one. I bet you can imagine how terrible this looks as a list. Now I have to do a bunch of custom coding. Please allow drop down multi-select. ---

+1 this should 100% be an option for Hubspot forms. Having a checkbox property already displays perfectly as a multiselect dropdown in the Hubspot UI - so I do not see why it cannot have the same functionality when used on a form without having to custom code the form to get it to display as such ---

Yeah, I can’t upvote this enough. Simply not allowing a multiple checkbox option format as a dropdown in a form is forcing me to look into other form builders for application/onboarding forms for my agency and some of our clients. I would much prefer to build these forms in HubSpot. ---

Yes please, this feature is critical for most of our forms. Hubspot has this feature already in different setting fields (like “Additional teams”) ![tl_0-1660234166489.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/1/1e7a6f02759cd97eb825350f03849f24d9b15904.png) ---

This is an absolute necessity and the way it’s currently setup in forms looks very unprofessional without this. [Next page](https://community.hubspot.com/t/multi-select-drop-down-field-for-forms/18181.md?page=2)
