How can I select multiple options in a Multiple choice variable?

A Multiple choice variable lets you choose from a list of options when using a template.

For example, imagine that you want to show which team members are available for a call:

  • Max
  • Bob
  • Lucy

Create the variable, add your question, and enter each possible answer.

When using the template, you can select more than one option with the Spacebar.

Choose how the answers appear

Multiple selections can be displayed as a list or together on one line.

For a simple inline list such as:

Max, Bob, Lucy

use a comma and a space as the separator.

For a more natural result such as:

Max, Bob and Lucy

enter the regular separator and the final separator with a pipe character between them:

, | and

Typedesk uses the first separator between the earlier selections and the second separator before the final selection.

A tiny setting, but it saves your template from sounding like it was written by a shopping list.
