Hi everyone. I'm dabbling into Dataverse and I saw someone selecting 'Choices' under data type (when creating a new column) in their tutorial. I can't seem to find this option when I tried it myself. The only options that show up when I select Choice is 'Choice' and 'Yes/no'. Can someone confirm if this is a part of their new update? Thanks in advance!

The choice data type is the one for choices , yes and No will be a Boolean type with only these 2 options if you have multiple choices then use the choice option.

So technically choice/choices is not available on Dataverse anymore and is being replaced with 'choice' and 'yes/no' right? And the current 'choice' is the equivalent to 'choices'?

Hi @NZ0090,

Choices (multi select) is still available. It's just that it went through a rename/optimization. It is now a property of choice as per below:

Hope this clarifies!
