Checkbox field

#Overview
Checkbox fields allow users to tick any combination of options, making them ideal for multi-select questions where more than one answer can apply.
#Use cases
Typical use cases include:
Selecting multiple categories, tags, or labels
Capturing features, services, or items that apply
Listing affected systems, teams, or regions
