When creating a new property for Contacts, is there not a field type of multi-select? ---

Hi @EPloehn, There is, it’s called “Multiple checkboxes”, see here: [Understand property field types in HubSpot](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/account/property-field-types-in-hubspot) (If you’re not seeing this, could you please share a screenshot?) Best regards! ---

Thank you. Multiple checkboxes is not the same as a multi-select drop down, which is what I was hoping for. E ---

When using Multiple Checkboxes, how do handle the import phase - if a property has several values; do I comma seperate or ; in the spreadsheet that is getting imported so that the appropriate checkboxes are selected? ---

Have a query at hand where i would like to map the correct property type from a Facebook Form which has a “multi-select field type option” unto a HubSpot property which could support the same. How should i go about this? Would the utilization of the property type “Multiple checkboxes” solve this gap? ![Byerris_0-1709575888550.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/9/e9a5e48d9dd1e559214a6bec9852c9efde45e748.png) Current scenario at hand: The property currently utilized displays an error for the mapping which is clear in that the “Dropdown select” type only supports 1 option being mapped there as a value. ![Byerris_1-1709575940741.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/1/01b8f996b4dacc8c6ff0fb64a77a49af6396257d.png) Thanks in advance for some insights.
