XF 2.1 How do I add multiple selections when creating Custom User Field?

[Gator]

I want to create a "Custom user field" where users can chose up 5 items on a list of 10 choices. How would I go about making this happen?

Thanks in advance

You can create a multiple-choice drop down, which lets people choose multiple items. But you can't limit it to a certain number. They can select all 10 if they wanted.

How about check boxes? Is that possible?

There is no setting I know of where you can limit people how many choices they can pick.

@sbj Thanks for answering

Maybe there is a template conditional, which you can set up and disables custom user field, when number of choices is higher than X.

But I wouldn't know if this is possible or not, just an idea.

Okay, I figured out a way around it to get the "multiple checkbox" to work. All you have to do is select "Multiple-choice drop down" and create the custom field and save. Then go back and check the "check box" option, which then allow you to select multiple choices. Now all I need to do is figure out how to pull specific choices into "Value display HTML" so it appears in the User profile.
