Single vs Multiple Choice Hierarchical Properties

Introduction:

In the latest QBank update, we have released a new function that allows you to choose between Single choice and Multiple Choice for your Hierarchical Properties. 

Guide:

- Tick the box if you want to allow users to select several tags within the property.

- Untick the box if you want the users to only have one single choice within the property.

Important note:  Each new property is set by default to "single choice" upon creation, however in the previous version of QBank “multiple choice” was the only option possible, so make sure to verify that the Multiple Choice option is ticked when needed. 

You can switch from single > multiple without the risk of losing any tags,

however, switching from multiple > single is potentially dangerous, since any media that had been tagged with multiple values will lose all but one value if that asset is saved again (after the property is set to single value).

Simply follow these steps:

1: Click on your administration tab

2: Under Properties, select the chosen Property set including your Hierarchical Property

In my example it's the "Test property Multichoice" Property Set

3: Select the Hierarchical Property within your Property Set

4: On the right side of your window, you'll find the info tab of your given property

with the property type "Hierarchical" selected:

As you can see on the screenshot the "Multiple Choice" option is showing under the Hierarchical Property, make sure to tick that box when needed and untick it if you only want one single choice possible.

The choice is now yours!
