You make it Binary, 1,2,4,8,16,etc, and when checkbox 1 and 2 are selected the value is 3, check 3 and now your value is 7...I've seen this done in lots of implementations...including Remedy....the 'log' check boxes in the server info screen are done this way....it's all stored in a single value in the ar.cfg file, and you need to 'decode' it to determine which checkboxes are checked....it would be very easy to write an interface to that sort of thing.

If you allowed a Radio Button to be multi-selected (which is basically what you are suggesting), how would you use it in a Run-If? Personally I think that extending the character field w/menu Append Items functionality to have a Show as Multi Select option would be the way to do it.
