Support for multi-select variable type in intake forms

• Default on 

Who: Admin, Recruiter, TA Ops

Requirements: This feature requires access to the Talent Tracking module.  Users must have access to the intake form template builder and appropriate permissions to create or edit variables in the template management section to use the new field type.

What's new: Eightfold has introduced a new variable type, dropdownMultiSelect, built on the select-multiple component to replace the limitations of single-choice fields. This update addresses the need for data collection where a single response is insufficient to capture full context. By allowing multiple selections within a single field, organizations can simplify their intake forms, reduce the number of individual questions, and capture more granular data.

How it works: When configuring an intake form template, admins can select "Multi-select dropdown" as the field type and define the list of available options. Once published, users filling out the form can select multiple items from the dropdown simultaneously.
