I have a usecase where I need to provide checkbox selection to user for fillling parameter values in Azure Resource Manager Template of Data Connector/ Playbook(Azure Logic Apps). I have tried to provide type=array while providing allowedValues but it is creating a dropdown only from which I can select a single value only. But I want a type from which I can select multiple values as we can do in checkbox. Can anyone help me to guide on this to achieve checkbox kind of functionality in ARM Template?

    Hello @Nirali Shah - Thanks for reaching out, and posting on the MS Q&A. For displaying a multi-select checkbox UI elements out of your ARM template, you'll need to create a Template Spec, and deploy via Portal as shown here: Create Azure portal forms for a template spec The same tutorial shows an example of such an improved experience using checkboxes by adding "multiselect": true and "type": "Microsoft.Common.DropDown" in the template spec file:
