When there are multiple options on a field and you want to allow users to select one or more of those options, checkbox fields are used.
Options of the Checkbox field type are rendered by default as boxes that are checked (ticked) when activated.
With Piotnet Plugins, you can customize elements of the checkbox field in Square style.
Here are two examples of checkbox field in two different styles: Native and Square.
The images below is a tutorial on how to create a checkbox field in each of those styles.
