Hey @YChuskit, thanks for reaching out! This is a great question. You’ll want to create a custom **multiple-checkbox** property ([more info in this HubSpot Knowledge Base article](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/property-field-types-in-hubspot)). That will allow the user to select multiple options and send multiple values into HubSpot. Just note that multiple-checkbox properties display all values on the form (not a dropdown list like you see for dropdown properties). Hope this helps!! _Moderator note: While this solution may not address the original poster’s specific situation, it could be helpful for other community members facing similar challenges._ ---

Bumping this post - considering the number of uses for multiple select fields, it’s surprising this isn’t a default feature on a comprehensive CRM tool like Hubspot. For example there are numerous reasons that a form might need to capture multiple country values - do you think anyone wants to scroll through 250+ checkboxes? ---

Hi. I am also looking for the same feature. I have a list of countries and the HubSpot default is single line text (which is a nightmare for any database), so I created a country list as a multiple checkbox list (as some partners work in multiple countries). However, on a form, it is an incredibly long list. It would be ideal to have this Multiple checkbox list displayed as a dropdown select where people can simply search country by name and select the appropriate ones from the list - something similar to what the HubSpot GUI uses for filters. Are there any possible fixes/updates/ways around this? Any help would be appreciated. ---

We’re going down the route of using Javascript to modify the presentation of the field after it has been rendered on the webpage. That was the only solution I was able to find any reference to in trawling through the various forums and threads. ---

Thanks! I unfortuantely don’t have any javascript skills… I made a workaround by having the dropdown select as a field and then set up a workflow to append the information to their multiple checkbox property in their profile. So that can then be updated with multiple form submissions from different forms/sources. Not ideal, nor elegant, but functional for now. ---

This is a good point we need to do a country drop down but have people working in more than one country. Having a checkbox of over 100 options is not a good look.
