Yes, I can definitely help you with that! In Webflow, you can create a group for checkboxes in a form so that only one or multiple boxes can be checked in each section. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the group of checkboxes.

  2. Add a form element to your page by dragging and dropping the form block from the Add panel on the left side of the Designer.

  3. Within the form, add a Div Block by clicking on the "+" button or pressing the "D" key and selecting "Div Block" from the menu. This will act as the container for your group of checkboxes.

  4. Inside the Div Block, add a Label element for each checkbox option you want to include. You can easily add labels by dragging and dropping the Label element from the Add panel or by using the "+" button and selecting "Label".

  5. Inside each Label, add a Checkbox element by selecting the Label and then dragging and dropping the Checkbox element from the Add panel or by using the "+" button and selecting "Checkbox".

  6. Now, to ensure that only one or multiple boxes can be checked in each section, you'll need to give each Checkbox element a unique name attribute.

  7. Select the first Checkbox element and navigate to the Settings panel on the right side of the Designer. Find the "Name" field and enter a unique name for this checkbox.

  8. Repeat step 7 for each Checkbox element, giving them each a unique name.

  9. To further group the checkboxes together, you can wrap them in a Fieldset and add a Legend to describe the section. This is optional but can help improve the user experience.

  10. To do this, select all the Labels and Checkbox elements and wrap them in a Fieldset by clicking on the "+" button or pressing the "D" key and selecting "Fieldset" from the menu.

  11. With the Fieldset selected, you can add a Legend by clicking on the "+" button or pressing the "D" key, selecting "Text", and then changing the text to describe the section.

  12. Feel free to style the checkboxes and their labels using the Style panel on the right side of the Designer to match the design of your form.

By following these steps, you have now created a group of checkboxes in Webflow where only one or multiple boxes can be checked in each section of your form. This will provide a user-friendly experience for your form visitors.
