Data Types (type):
A UUID is for a single object reference.
An array is for multiple object references.
A list of UUIDs could be stored in a string/longchar field.

Formtool types (fttype):
An array is for a library picker to select multiple elements -- works
with array only.
A UUID is for a single object selection -- works with uuid only.
A list is a select menu -- you could select one or a multi select for
multiple -- works with string/longchar.

Is there any reason you are not using an array (array data type) and
simply allowing users to select destinations from a library picker
(array fttype)?  If you need a custom ui element  -- like a bank of
checkboxes -- then you'd probably want to build your own formtool
component such as ./formtools/checkboxen.cfc and have an array or
string/ntext to store the UUIDs you collect.
