Mutliple Columns For Checkboxes (Editor)

Mutliple Columns For Checkboxes (Editor)

In Editor, I have a field that has a large amount of options of type: "checkbox". Currently, they are in one long list. Is there a good way to split them up over multiple columns at a certain length? I'm also using Bootstrap4, but someone else may come across this and want to know how to do it in general as well.

Thanks!

    I'm still looking for some help on this. I've tried the Multi-Column Layout, but that still keeps the checkbox elements all in a single column. I am sure there is a better way, i just can't see the trees for the forest.

    You can use a little CSS for this:

    div.DTE_Field_Type_checkbox div.DTE_Field_InputControl > div > div {
  float: left;
  width: 50%;
}

    You could use flex box or whatever you prefer if you don't want to float them.
