To change the option field in Webflow CMS to allow clients to choose multiple categories for their blog posts, you can follow these steps:
Create a multi-reference field: In your CMS collection, create a multi-reference field to hold the categories for your blog posts. This field will allow you to select multiple options.
Create a new collection: If you haven't already, create a new collection to store your categories. Each category will be a separate item in this collection. Include a name field to add the category name.
Populate the categories: In the CMS collection for categories, add all the relevant categories for your blog posts. Each category will be a separate item in the collection.
Associate categories with blog posts: In your blog posts collection, create a new field and select the multi-reference field type. Link this field to the categories collection you created earlier.
Change the option field: Locate the option field in your blog post editor. Change the field type to reference and select the multi-reference field you created in the previous step.

By enabling clients to choose multiple categories for their blog posts, you can offer them more flexibility and improve content organization on your website. This ensures that your blog posts are properly categorized and can be easily filtered or searched by visitors.
Example:
Let's say you have a blog website, and you want to allow clients to choose multiple categories for their blog posts. You have categories like "Technology," "Lifestyle," and "Travel." By following the steps above, you create a multi-reference field in your blog posts collection and associate it with the categories collection. This allows clients to select multiple categories for each blog post. For instance, a blog post about the latest technology gadgets can be categorized as "Technology" and "Lifestyle," ensuring it appears in both categories and reaches a broader audience.
