Yes, there is a simple positioning function in Webflow that allows you to adjust the layout of checkboxes and labels on a form to display 2 or 3 options per line. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Add a form element to your Webflow project, either by dragging and dropping it onto your canvas or by using the form element from the elements panel.
  2. Inside the form element, add a checkbox for each option you want to display.
  3. Place a label element next to each checkbox. This label will be used to display the text for each option.
  4. To group the checkboxes and labels together, select both the checkbox and label elements for each option and wrap them in a div block. You can do this by selecting the checkbox, holding down Shift, and then clicking on the corresponding label element. Right-click on one of the selected elements and choose "Wrap in div" from the context menu.
  5. With the div block selected, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow interface.
  6. Under the layout section, you will find the positioning options. By default, the display property will be set to "block". Change this to "inline-block" to make the div block and its contents align horizontally.
  7. Adjust the width of the div block to make sure that it can fit two or three options per line. You can do this by either setting a fixed width or a percentage width, depending on your design preferences.
  8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for each set of checkboxes and labels that you want to display in your form.

By following these steps, you will be able to use Webflow's positioning function to adjust the layout of checkboxes and labels on a form to display 2 or 3 options per line.
