How do you create checkboxes?

[jaymie.jeffrey]

I can see from this article:

https://www.contentful.com/help/content-modelling-basics/#:~:text=You%20can%20also%20create%20checkboxes,your%20content%20creators%20to%20success.

It states you can create checkboxes from Short text, but I cannot find the appearance anywhere. I have specified that the item is required and set some specific values. Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong?

Next, click on the Validation tab and check Accept only specified values and add the options to be shown to the editor like so:

Next, click on the Appearance tab and select the Checkbox appearance like this:

Last, click Confirm then save your content type and now your entries will have a field that looks like this:

Hope this helps!!
