Metadata checkbox or multiple choice?

Hello there,

Do it possible ?

Hi,

At the moment styling or multiple values are not possible. The metadata value is stored and presented as a character field. The best alternative is to provide “lookup” values in the metadata type definition. This will change the metadata widget to an HTML “combo box” but still only one selection is possible.

There have been similar requests and we have been discussing how to proceed but there are multiple way to accomplish this and each have their own pros and cons, no final consensus yet.

A community member volunteered to add a form styling using HTML widgets but that work remain incomplete.

Hi
Thank you very much for your answer
Best regards.
