Multiple choice field
Pick one option from a list — radio buttons rendered as tappable cards.
What it does#
The Multiple choice field is single-select: respondents pick exactly one option from the list. Halloform renders the options as tappable cards rather than tiny radio dots, so mobile fills don't miss.
Settings#
- Required — disallow blank submissions.
- Options — one per line in the property panel.
- Allow "Other" — adds a free-text option respondents can type into.
- Default value — pre-select an option.
vs. Dropdown#
Use Multiple choice when there are five or fewer options and they're all worth seeing. Switch to Dropdown when the list is long enough that showing every option would push the next question off-screen.
Related fields#
- Checkboxes — when respondents can pick more than one.
- Dropdown — when the list is too long for inline cards.
- Picture choice — when an image makes the option clearer than text.
