Hi there, I hope you are doing good! I’ll get straight to my point - Here’s what I am thinking to do : I have a list of ~8 items, and I want my user to pick 1 to 8 items from that list. Here’s a GIF roughly representing my idea - [the items in below GIF do not represent my actual items; also, **I do not require the ‘Select All’ button.**] ![sample gif](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/c/2c9317bcd5c59faf65ee44a3cd82d1d89b430b5a.gif) So, is it possible to make a multiple selection checklist like above in Thunkable? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! 🙂 ---

I would think it would be pretty easy to do this in the legacy interface with Any Component blocks and pretty hard to do in the drag-and-drop interface. I’ll see if I can make a demo. It would be great to have checkboxes or radio buttons as options in a list viewer. Maybe you can submit a feature request on GitHub? ---

~~In theory, this should work. In practice, it doesn’t. ☹~~ ~~[Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/e921feff2dc3b47081b9e007ad98c28c)~~ Okay, Thunkable didn’t like my embedded “test” condition blocks. This is getting closer: [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/6c4b98db7384287c42735fd51cea17c9](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/6c4b98db7384287c42735fd51cea17c9) Actually, I think this will work as a checklist. But my live previews aren’t updating so it looks like the data isn’t changing for me. ---

Hi @tatiang! Thanks a lot for your help! 😀 I tried doing it completely myself & fortunately, It has worked out perfectly : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/9/b973d649621340ee1a67138dac9fef242ba1d0d5.png) The LocalDB has the list of the items, and the label represents the checked items comma-seprated. Thanks! ---

@kartik14 @tatiang I thought to provide my own contribution for the checklist. I know the issue is resolved but let me share it for future reference. [Check List Sample Project](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/603fe31c6b9fa20011d0afcd) ---

Hi, @muneer ! Thanks for your idea, it seems nice! Unfortunately, I cannot seem to open the project because of some errors - I can just preview it from the project page… Do you mind sharing the remix link? Thanks! ---

Thanks @muneer, but I still cannot get full access to the project 😑 All I see is everything is disabled… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/b/1b8ede76e24bd9d4f49d14e3e1fd655ede4a58b2.png) ---

I don’t know what’s causing it.

I got the characters from the internet and you can you any character you want. You could even choose those with colours. ---

What a great way! I would’ve used a custom DVL to add some buttons to that. The code is easily managed. But your way is much quicker. ---

@kartik14 I just found out that if you see the project as read only all what you need to do is to select the three vertical dots and choose “Duplicate Project” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/8/d8af653aaab00b271efd6e44aeab6109467a6feb.png) It worked for me getting a project from the community which was showing “every thing disabled” ---

Yes, I’ve been noticing that, too. I still haven’t figured out why some projects say “Remix” and some don’t show that at all and need to be duplicated. [Next page](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-can-i-build-a-checkbox-list-in-which-i-am-able-to-select-unselect-items/1263047.md?page=2)
