[asmarove]

There is no option to have a multi select for (select, radio buttons, Checkboxes) in the new front end forms , while it's available in the normal custom post type.

Yes. please add to new version. we need to select some countries. Thank you :)

[designboxmedia]

Yes please add this. We are using check boxes when they should be multiple select.
Chosen select would be a bonus too. https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/

Feature still missing :(

[Nelicquele]

+1 I really need this option!

[yuleidyvdres]

+1 This feature will be really helpful

[mianrashid]

damn this feature should be there and this just stopped me from buying it.. I hope this feature was there with chosen js... saved me 750$

[claujohnson]

Unfortunately this solution is not yet complete in Crocoblock :(

[developernerdsacademy]

We REALLY need this feature!!! I have thousands of posts and when users add related posts, the form is so long! I would rather have a multi select for that or at least a way to make the checkbox field have a scroll instead of being a mile long!

[iluvios]

Yepp, still need this feature

[nreljed]

this function can only come with select2. unite your ranks and voices, in this post #3885 and tag all the possible problems linked to the select ecosystem as the dev forces are now divided between jetformbuilder and jetengine forms, this will become even more complicated to manage soon... at some point, a choice should be made, and it will be the right one :) be patient

Hey, I created a small plugin that adds a new Select2 field component. The plugin works for single or multiple values (configurable). It's still an early release and I'm not sure yet it supports all the field options of the normal select component yet (can't find a way so far to solve this without duplicating code). It also works nicely inside repeaters as it observes newly added select elements and transforms them on the fly.

Anyway, you can grab it from here and let me know if something breaks so that I can fix it.

P.S: you obviously don't need to buy me a coffee and the code is under GPLv3

Hello, I have used it but it didn't work. I couldn't fill the options with custom taxonomy terms... anyway it's nice to see somebody trying to fix this lack of feature.

[honzabit]

@lucasvlc makes sense. That's why I said above that I'm not sure yet it supports all the field options of the normal select component yet (can't find a way so far to solve this without duplicating code). The problem remains though and is not really the duplication that I care about, but the fact that it can break if crocoblock devs decide to alter the way they populate these field options. In any case, I just published a new version of the plugin, feel free to give it a shot and let me know.

Amazing work, thank you!!

This is something I would love to see added too. I build directory websites, and being able to choose multiple categories/taxonomies in a select dropdown while adding or editing a listing from the frontend would be amazing.

[stapolin]

Just to add to my last comment..

Being able to choose a maximum number of items would be handy.. especially for directory sites where you may only allow a listing in up to 3 categories.

Multiselect please +1 (2 years on) - lol

[fbeach73]

+1 this is very necessary, and holding a lot of things up in the air for front end forms and options on taxonomy buildouts

[menzer2015]

Come on guys multi select is a powerful tool it also helps with reducing layout clutter, I use chioces.js to convert multiple select boxes so you get a neat select dropdown but as you don't even have the multi-select as an option is causing me to use gravityforms but I would prefer to use jetformbuilder. please please release this after 2 years request

[menzer2015]

BTW you only need this jquery to convert your select box to a dropdown box (Make sure to change the ID to your targeted ID) $("#points_of_interest").attr("multiple",''); <--- adds multiple to the selectbox

If you want it to look nice like the demo below then I have included a little snippet that may help some people, if you have a better solution please let me know but I hope this can help someone

Install the choices jquery and enqueue the jquery script Demo and code here: https://choices-js.github.io/Choices/

After you have enqueued the above script initiate the script with this code. Add this to your function file or snippet plugin make sure to change my ID below

add_action('wp_footer', 'jw_choices_select');
function jw_choices_select(){?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function( $ ) {
  //Place your jQuery code here...
  //// Pass jQuery element
  $("#change_this_ID").attr("multiple",''); <---- this converts the simple select box to a dropdown multiple box which the choices.js jquery will convert into a beautiful select boxes
//  $('#change_this_ID').attr('data-calculate','25'); <-- I am still working on adding the data-calculate to the option of the select box for those that need to have calculations (I don't)

  var firstElement = document.getElementById('points_of_interest');
//  var firstElement = document.getElementsByClassName('checkradio-wrap');
var choices1 = new Choices(firstElement, {
    delimiter: ',',
    editItems: false,
    removeButton: true,
    searchEnabled: false,
    searchChoices: false,
    removeItemButton: false
});

});
</script>
<?php
}
