About This Feature

Overview

Multiple Options is a field type in WPS Office for iOS DBSheet. It is designed for records that need more than one tag, preference, or category at the same time. After you create this field, you can add preset options in advance and let each record keep multiple selected values.

Core capabilities include:

Create a Multiple Options field: add a field that supports multi-tag records.
Add multiple options: build the option list and assign colors.
Edit options: update existing option names and reorder them for later maintenance.

Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS DBSheet can create a Multiple Options field, add multiple preset options, assign colors, and reorder options.	Microsoft Lists uses list columns to structure data, and columns can be used for sorting, grouping, and filtering.	Google Sheets dropdowns can include multiple items and support Allow multiple selections, while the official help page notes a mobile limitation for multi-select use.	Notion databases provide a Multi-Select property that lets one record use one or more tags.	Adobe Acrobat Sign checkbox groups let recipients choose one or more values from a group, mainly in form collection scenarios.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps field creation, option setup, and option reordering in one DBSheet workflow on iOS.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on general list column types rather than an iOS multi-tag field editing flow.	Compared with WPS: multi-select dropdowns are supported, but the official help page says mobile users currently cannot select multiple dropdown options.	Compared with WPS: the feature fits database tagging, but the official guidance is broader property management rather than a focused iOS field workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on form checkboxes for signing workflows, not DBSheet-style field management.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to manage multi-tag fields for DBSheet records on iOS, WPS offers a more focused path for creating, filling, and maintaining the field in one place. Other products provide multi-select or adjacent capabilities, but their mobile behavior, component fit, or primary use case differs.
