 * Hi
 * Is there a way to enable multi-select on the drop down control of form or use
   multi-select checkbox ?

 * Hi [@zaffarn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zaffarn/),
 * To allow multi-selections to a dropdown field in your form, the field must be
   of column type `set`.
 * See here (preview from our Data Designer): [https://share.zight.com/JruZmkQ6](https://share.zight.com/JruZmkQ6)
 * Let us know if you have more questions. 😊

 * Hi [@erik2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erik2/),
 * To change a column’s type, you need to alter the table either via [SQL Query Builder](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/query-builder/writing-queries/),
   or by [Data Designer](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/data-designer/basic-mode/).
 * Here’s a short demo: [https://share.zight.com/9ZuJnZ92](https://share.zight.com/9ZuJnZ92)
 * Hope that helps!

 * Thank you [@kimmyx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kimmyx/)
 * Ah, I see. I thought this was some ‘internal’ way to define the column type, 
   I didn’t realise this was about changing the type in the database table. (My 
   field is varchar)
 * Is there no other way to create form-input-field as multi-select, or as checkboxes?
   Preferably with a few predefined choices?
