Notion has introduced a new display option for Forms that allows multi-select fields to be collapsed into a dropdown menu rather than being fully expanded on the page.

This update is a major improvement for form ergonomics and conversion rates. When a form requires users to choose from a long list of options (such as “Areas of Interest” or “Software Skills”), an expanded list can create a wall of choices that leads to cognitive overload and excessive scrolling. By switching to a dropdown style, you can maintain a compact, tidy layout that only reveals options when the user is ready to interact with that specific field.

To enable this, open your Form in edit mode, click on a Multi-select property to open its settings, and look for the “Display as” toggle. Select “Dropdown” to collapse the list into a single-line field.
