True a binary coded field would work, but you can't run a Mod or a
bitwise or type function in a Run-If to see if a specific value is
selected. Think about writing a filter to fire if the 3rd value (out of
10 possible) is selected.
The other way I have seen it done is to use a Character field position
(if you have 10 checkboxes the value is a 10 character string and each
checkbox is represented by 0 or 1 in the position in the string). Using
this method you can use a pattern in a Run-If to compare ('zTmp' LIKE
"__1%").

I've never done it in Remedy, but I dealt with one when coding for
(ouch...this hurts to remember) Tivoli Service Desk, and I've decoded
remedy's to make a console that could turn on and off logs in the
client...way before Remedy put that console in the user tool....but I
think it would be doable for them to provide us a field type that
allowed multiple check boxes...they just chose not to for whatever
reason

Didn't check boxes come about in the "dark days"?
I asked a Peregrim [sic] rep about that at a demo session in Philly.
His answer should have been telling me something. "I don't know why it
was built like that. Yes a binary coded field would probably work."
LJ,
Have you done this yourself? I toyed around with it but it wasn't a
priority and I didn't come up with a good solution to make it portable.

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.

I'm not sure I agree with that ... 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.

It doesn't work well, because Remedy didn't design it well...with check
boxes, you can only display the first item, that's the way it is.
