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.
Adding a comment again to garner more attention from HubSpot developers. In order to use HubSpot for large scale projects, the form property types must be expansive and condusive to user experience. Drop-down menus (WITH search bars!!!) allow organizations to capture more information without making the form really long. It allows the form submitters to provide a more holistic answer within a form. Right now, HubSpot forms are the less professional option (as another commentor mentioned) because it doesn't have the capabilities that have now become standard across industries.
With the limitations of Hubspot meeting routing funcationality our only option (other than using a plugin) is using forms.
Limitations: We need to assign based on country/integration. Current process - Lead submits form > workflow: Assign owner > send lead/contact email with meeting link > prioritise sales rep calendar based on Contact owner. Lead has to leave the page, and resubmit contact details on HS meeitng link. Very clunky!
However, we face the same issue as the above examples. Our contacts can select multiple options, but as have have ~10 it takes up the form space and is a bit of an eye sore. Would love to have the option to create multicheckbox dropdown property, please.
+1 Upvoting on behalf of a customer who is planning to have a field (list of skills of a professional) with 150+ options. Using multiple checkboxes is making the form extremely long.
I don't know why this request has been ignored for three years. The functionality already exists in Hubspot. Just look at this example when building a list. Please allow us to display long multi-select fields as a dropdown.
I also would love this. Especially with the option to hide all of the excess options that don't match what the person is typing in so they don't select from a list, but rather type in their selection and choose from those that pop up.
Use case: we sell to law firms. We have a multi-select for Practice Areas. But everyone wants to call their area of law something else. So if we had them just type in their practice areas in a form and select the ones that match, I think that would be a great user experience.
