We need a dedicated Checkbox Field type that functions exactly like a Choice Field but provides a native checkbox-list UI.
Currently, business users designing in Designer Desk intuitively use "Choice Lists" for checkboxes, only to realize later that they lack central data management. This forces us to either explain technical trade-offs or implement custom SDK solutions to get both: a central Dictionary and a checkbox UX.
I have documented this recurring architectural challenge and our current SDK workaround here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7492527653489512448/
A dedicated Checkbox Field type is necessary to:
• Provide a native Checkbox UX without losing the benefits of central Dictionary management.
• Simplify the design process by giving users exactly what they expect from the start.
• Maintain IT Governance by keeping data centrally managed while providing modern UI components.
• Ensure Native Reporting, filtering, and grouping remain consistent without workarounds.
Best regards,
