How do I add multiple check boxes in one column?
I am creating a form from my Smartsheet. I want to have multiple options with check boxes but have not been able to find out to add more than one check box.

Hey @williamsons2,
In the form you need to make the field a dropdown rather than a checkbox (see my previous comment), then toggle multiple values per cell:
Then in the right hand side (when you have the field selected), click either the "Vertical Checkboxes" or "Horizontal Checkboxes" under "Display As":
Hope this helps!

Hey @williamsons2,
You'll want to use the "Dropdown List" Column Type, and then select "Allow multiple values per cell".
Hope this helps!

Is there a way to make it look like this?

I hope you're well and safe!
Yes, but only in a form; otherwise, it would look like this.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

How do I get it like that on the form? When I choose the checkbox option, it's a single box and doesn't allow me to label it.
