[Feature request] Multiple Checkbox Field Type #293

Open teateatea opened 4 days ago

teateatea commented 4 days ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to choose multiple static options, but present them all openly.

I could use a lot of toggles, but that wastes screen space, and complicates things. I can also use multiselect, but it requires more than the 3 clicks for 3 checkboxes, and doesn't present all the options openly.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like a field that works like this:

Name: Sports Description: Check off all the sports they enjoy playing [ ] Football [ ] Cricket [ ] Tennis [ ] Basketball [ ] Golf [ ] Volleyball

Additional context I'd find it convenient if the form editor allowed for both Label & Value on the checkbox!

Thank you for making this whole plug in!

Just to make sure I understand the request. This is 'kind of' another way of presenting a multi-select with fixed options. Can that be considered a workaround?

Ok, not sure how I missed this. That's fair, I will consider adding this

Yes! That's what I've been using, but when the number of options in the multi-select starts ballooning, it can get a bit unwieldy.

And then I popped over to the template editor and realized that it had exactly what I'd need at the top the whole time lol. Lots of buttons, nice and compact!

Thank you for your consideration!

Thanks for your kind words. However, the template builder is just a utility to ease the task of buliding templater templates for existing forms. It is not a feature of the form when you invoke it in a modal. Or you mean that it is a nice example of what you are requesting?

Ah, yes, sorry, that was unclear of me.

It's just a nice example of what I'm requesting! The template builder uses two different styles of it, but there isn't a way to make an actual form field type that can do "many buttons openly presented".

My feeling, is that this should be quite easy to add. Will give it a try
