Yes, please Hubspot, include this. Multiple checkboxes take up way too much room on the form and give it an overwhelming appearance.

Yes I too am looking for this functionality. Both to have a longer list without taking up so much space and make the form look so long, and to have different types of looks on the form. I am trying to avoid having two multi select forms on the same form

This idea would be very helpful for us. In our use case, we have 1500 schools that we want to include in a field. Users would choose their school in a form. Obviously scrolling through that many options is not a good experience, but a text entry field is not good for us to segment users either. If we can provide a search feature then users can find their school quickly and if it isn’t in the list then I’d love for them to be able to type whatever value they want.

Indeed it is an absolute necessity to be added in the forms to make it more flexible and presentable as well.

This would be tremendously helpful. Please, HubSpot, let’s get this on your development list!

This would solve a lot of problems if people decide to use Hubspot Forms. This is one of the reasons we’ve been reluctant to use Hubspot Forms.

Yes we would love this option as the forms do look very messy with the current multi-choice layout

What’s funny about this is that Hubspot has this feature in SEVERAL places throughout the platform, but it is not made available for use. I had to pay a developer some decent money to make this happen with one of our properties.

</div>

Currently in a form property field, you can either select a single option from a dropdown menu, or you can use the multiple checkbox or radio select if you want to choose multiple options but it will display the full list.

For a form to look clean and efficient on a website, it would be pertinent to allow a dropdown form field to select multiple options without displaying the full list.

Yes please!! We need this for website forms as well. It looks goofy with a bunch of checkboxes on the embedded form…
