Multi-Select Resource and Screen Field Considerations for Flows
Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, and Choice Lookup screen components let flow
users select multiple choices. Before you start using these screen components, understand how
they work in flows—both when you design the flow and when your users run it.
Configuring a Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or Choice Lookup Screen
Component
These screen components support only one default value. You can’t individually
select multiple default values. However, you can manually add a value in the default
value field and separate each value with a semicolon.
You can configure a record choice set resource to assign field values from a
user-selected record to variables in the flow. When a Checkbox Group, Multi-Select
Picklist, or Choice Lookup screen component uses a record choice set, only values from
the last record that the user selects are stored in the flow variables. If multiple
Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or Choice Lookup components on one screen use the
same record choice set, the variable assignments come from the last record selected from
all of those components.
Using Values from a Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or Choice Lookup Screen
Component
At run time, the value of a Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or Choice Lookup
screen component is a concatenation of the user-selected choice values, separated by
semicolons. If a selected choice’s value includes semicolons, the semicolons are
removed.
If you reference a Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or Choice Lookup screen
component in a flow condition:
Make sure that each choice in the screen component has a choice value
configured.
Don’t use the same choice in multiple Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or
Choice Lookup screen components on the same screen.
If a Checkbox Group, Multi-Select Picklist, or Choice Lookup has at least one default
value, at run time the choices are preselected if the choice’s value matches the default
value.
