Dear Magnolians

In Magnolia 4 when you needed a group of checkboxes in a dialog, you used the 
"checkbox" controlType [1]. It saved its values in a node with multiple 
single-value properties, e.g.

- myCheckbox
  - 0: value1
  - 1: value2

Now, in Magnolia 5, the checkbox field is only used for a single checkbox. When 
you need multiple checkboxes, you will have to use the option group field[2]. 
However, this field now stores the selected values in a multi-value property, 
which is a good thing but will make it harder to migrate data from 4 to 5.

My question:
a) Should I convert the data? Maybe there is a migration task that would handle 
this case?
b) Or is there an easy way to manipulate the option group to store the values 
in the old fashion way as single-value properties underneath a sub node?

I personally like a) better, but what do I know ;-)

Thanks,
-will
