There could be a few potential causes for the issue where the form in Webflow won't allow multiple item selections from a desktop computer but works fine on a mobile phone. Here are some possible reasons and how to troubleshoot them:
- Check the Form Element Settings:
- Ensure that the form element has the correct input type to allow multiple selections. For example, if you are using checkboxes for multiple selections, make sure the input type is set to "checkbox". If you are using a dropdown or select menu, ensure it allows for multiple selections.
- Verify that the form element's "name" attribute is set correctly. The name attribute should be unique and match the field's name attribute in the form settings.
- Browser Compatibility:
- Verify that the issue is not specific to the browser you are using on the desktop. Test the form on different desktop browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to see if the issue persists across all browsers. Update or switch browsers if needed.
- Ensure that your browser is up to date. Outdated browsers may not support certain form functionalities.
- Custom Code or Interactions:
- If you have any custom code or interactions applied to the form element or its parent elements, they could be causing the issue. Disable any custom code or interactions related to the form and test if the multiple item selection works correctly.
- Review any custom code or interactions that were applied to the form and check for any errors or conflicts that may interfere with the selection functionality.
- Webflow Bugs or Limitations:
- There is a possibility that the issue could be a bug or limitation in Webflow itself. Check the Webflow forum or contact Webflow support to see if there are any known issues or workarounds for this problem.
- Keep your Webflow version up to date and clearing cache to ensure you are not encountering a known issue that has been resolved in a newer version.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Webflow support for further assistance. Provide them with detailed information about the problem along with your project URL, and they will be able to help you diagnose and fix the issue more effectively.
