Checkbox Element

Application Builder
1

Is there a way to use a checkbox element to control a multiselect field?

For example, I’d like to have three separate checkboxes, and depending on which ones are selected, the corresponding values would populate a multiselect field (so if all three are checked, all three values appear in the multiselect).

I’m aware there is a “choice element,” but it currently only supports either a dropdown or a vertical checkbox list.

What I’m trying to achieve is a bit more visual: I want to display images alongside each selectable option. I’ve already managed to get a custom version working using JavaScript, where I can visually toggle selections, but I haven’t been able to successfully pass those selections into the multiselect field on submit.

So I’m wondering if this checkbox-to-multiselect approach is possible at all, or if there’s a better supported method for this kind of setup. Ideally, I’d like to place an image above each checkbox to make the selection more visual and user-friendly.

It might be possible, but it will require a lot of custom CSS and JS.

It will require css and js to use a checkbox element in the application builder to populate a multiselect field in my Baserow table?

You can use a Record selector in the application builder and link this to your multiselect field. This approach works without any need of css or js.

But if you want to have a Repeat element with Choice elements inside to control the values of the multiselect field, you will need custom css and js.
