Simon-- There are three ways to get by,
1)Leverage the RedDot Categories/Keywords built-in feature. Multiple Keywords can be assigned to a page instance. Though one at a time it is still an easy implementation for you the developer and the editors. 2)Build each category of your category list as an option list. Use the category value as the option list name and populate it as "yes" or "no". Place them in a group and designate the first option list as parent and all others as child elements. 3)Use simple html <select> and specify "multi" and when the button is clicked, concatenate all the selected options and insert it into a standard text field. The 3rd option involves an RQL "write" which has to happen outside the page instance. So they script has to live somewhere else and be called asynchronously. When the write is done, you force a re-load of the page and the selected value will be shown. The trouble with the 3rd is that it is laborious for the developer. Every time the page loads, you also need to parse the standard text field value, parse them apart and populate them accordingly in the multi-select so that the user knows what has been selected.
