Hi @vrdvishwas,

Take a look at https://spectrum.chat/twill/general/db-type-for-multi-select-fields~956d322d-07ba-4a76-a6ab-5a2b7e57da8e.

Depending on how you want to structure data you really have many choices here: one boolean column per value, one json column storing selected values, a belongsToMany relationship, etc.

In the repository section of the documentation you'll find that Twill gives you hooks to prepare data before saving (prepareFieldsBeforeSave), save more data after the model itself has been saved (afterSave) and to format data out of the database to feed your form fields if the data structure doesn't match 1 to 1 (getFormFields).

If you find yourself having to repeat code across multiple models, you can use the same approach Twill takes to share features through PHP traits. It is inspired by Laravel trait booting where the name of the hook in the trait contains the name of the trait itself. For example in Twill, the HandleMedias trait defines a afterSaveHandleMedias method that is called by the afterSave method of the repository including that trait.
