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.
+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
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.
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.
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.
This ability to have a searchable form field for all multiple checkbox and drop down values would be a huge help to mutliple customers who have larger lista for a single form field // property.
Ditto. In the healthcare industry, you want the ability to multi-select the type of health coverage a health plan offers: Commerical, Medicare, Medicaid, PBM, etc...Most health plans offer more than one line of business. Multi-select would allow for selected the diff. LOB per plan.
