# Multiple choice

## Field to choose one or more options.

The **multiple choice** field is one of three choice fields (along with the [single choice](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/field-single-choice?hsLang=en) and the [dropdown](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/field-dropdown?hsLang=en)). It allows us to **select one or more options among several previously personalized possibilities**.

![Multiple choice-1](https://support.biglelegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Bigle%20Academy/Campos/Multiple%20choice-1.png?width=688&name=Multiple%20choice-1.png)

For the field to work properly, you need to **set its tags in the template document**. In [this article](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/tags-for-option-fields?hsLang=en#p1.2) on “Tags for option fields” you will find all the necessary information on how to do it.

 

### **Description of the multiple choice field options**

- **Title:** text that describes the purpose of the field.
- **Tag:** you must introduce the same tag that you have written in the "template document" so that the field is correctly linked with its position in the document.

***Set options***

In this section you must introduce all the options that you want the field to have. Each option consists of:

- **Title:** this is the name or value that describes the option.

- **Option tag:** here you will write the tag that will refer to this option. [This article](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/tags-for-option-fields?hsLang=en#p1.2) shows you how to configure the tags for option fields in the document.

Use the “**Add option**” button to add as many options as needed.

![Set and sort options](https://support.biglelegal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Bigle%20Academy/Mult.%20Choice/Set%20and%20sort%20options.png?width=550&height=494&name=Set%20and%20sort%20options.png)

By clicking the "Sort" button, you can **sort the options** in alphabetical order (from A to Z, or from Z to A).

 

***Advanced options***

**1. Subtitle:** used in case you want to add additional information to the title.

**2. Optional field:** used to make the field required or optional. When activated, you will be telling the software that this field, despite being asked, will not necessarily have to be answered.

**3. Blocked field:** enabling this option will restrict the field to be automatically populated with predefined data, whether by internal means (copying data from another document) or external (bulk document creation, integrations, API...).

**4. Set connection type:** if you have [configured the tags to automatically add connectors](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/tags-for-option-fields?hsLang=en#p2.1) between the titles of the options, in this section you can choose the desired option of punctuation marks ("**,**" or "**;**") and conjunctions ("**and**" or "**or**").

**5. Set numbering:** if you have [configured the tags to automatically add numbering to the title of each option](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/tags-for-option-fields?hsLang=en#p2.2), in this section you will have to **activate** **numbering** and then select the desired **option** through the dropdown (numbers, letters or roman).

**6. Explanation:** if you activate this option, you can add detailed instructions or explanations that serve as support when filling the field in the form.

**7. Form metadata:** if enabled, the values entered in this field will be saved and used as [metadata](https://support.biglelegal.com/en/knowledge-base/metadata?hsLang=en).

**Once the field is set up,** save the changes. The card folds, showing **information** to check the basic configuration of the field:
