Select Multiple from file doesn't allow map appearance

1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.

Hi All, is this a bug? Attached are 2 identical Excel files. The select-one allows map selection from the associated CSV file. The select-multiple will just display all the options as a list in the form.
Currently using Google Drive, but am setting up a Central Server (would this make a difference?)

ALSO: will there ever be an option to create a new WPT on the same map? I want the selection of a survey site to be Required, but i can't do this if the survey is being done at a new site and that site has to be mapped as a new question. Fussy much.

I want to use an external file because i want it to link to multiple forms for our different research projects and not have to edit the Choices tab of multiple forms each time it changes.

2. What steps can we take to reproduce this issue?

Upload the 2 form fragments and associated csv
SelectOne.xlsx (108.3 KB)
SelectMulti.xlsx (108.3 KB)
AllWaypoints.csv (1.7 KB)

3. What have you tried to fix the issue?

crying hasn't worked so i'm all out of ideas... :grinning:

4. Upload any forms or screenshots you can share publicly below.

Hi @ABCL

select_multiple does not work with the map appearance. The map appearance has been implemented recently and only for select_one questions. In the future, it might be added but there are no clear plans for when.

could you elaborate on that? I'm not sure if I understand what you want to achieve.

Back to this feature,

for one site we developed a form to track grazing pressure over the different parts of the site.
This site is divided in 15 parts and in order to allow the select of multiple parts we use a svg file.
It works really fine but... this form is now promised to be used on other sites over the region, and it will become tricky to product and maintain, a big svg file to filter by site.
Managing sites' subdivisions in a geojson or entities would be so easier.

So enabling map apparence for select multiple from files would help us a lot for this use case :slight_smile:
We also have another use case for this feature : Entities : geometries registered into the entities' csv doesn't appear in select_multiple from map

Is that extension of the map appearance to select multiple part of the "geo" roadmap ?
