Hi Sitejet team, can you guys implement a multiple choice or checkboxes in the collections data field options, I want to select multiple categories or sometime I require multiple options to be displayed as a list but don’t seem to have that option.

Thanks

**+1 for this request—totally agree, and would love to see this implemented!**

Expanding on what @Kenwin_Z suggested:

It would be a huge improvement to have **multi-select checkboxes or tag-style inputs** inside CMS/Collections. For example:

- Selecting multiple **categories or product attributes**
- Tagging content with multiple labels (e.g. “Outdoor”, “Sale”, “Summer”)
- Grouping content dynamically based on shared values

Right now, we work around it by:

- Using comma-separated text strings
- Creating complex logic across multiple fields
- Or duplicating templates just to simulate filtering

But that quickly gets messy and unscalable.

Suggested Implementation (Simple & Flexible):

- Field type: **Multi-select Dropdown** or **Checkbox Group**
- Option to bind to a **Collection of Tags** (ideal for filtering + reusability)
- Ability to loop through those selections in a collection item layout

This would open up tons of flexibility for:

- Filtering products/blogs
- Building faceted navigation
- Creating dynamic sections based on tag groups

Happy to collaborate or share use cases/mockups if it helps. This is one of those features that would benefit **everyone building at scale**.

Thanks for considering it!
