Question/Feature Idea #8

Description

Question:
Is there a good way to record multiple categories under the same trait? I presume we could allow repeated measures, and add them individually. If memory serves, that requires repeated saving and reopening to add a new data recording to a trait. Is there another recommended way?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For some traits, it would be benficial to be able to record multiple categories, at the same time. For instance, for flavor rating we might want to record it is "sweet", has "pop" and "tart".

Describe the solution you'd like
A toggle under "Data type->Category" trait creation to allow for multiple categories of a trait to be selected at one time. Data output would add a comma or some delimiter between text values (categories) under the same trait.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to use the repetitive measures function. Free text could also be used, however having common and defined terms to select from is preferable.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Currently only one category option is valid.
