Description
It will save time and allow for more flexibility if we could represent:
<obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="664" answerLabel="No Complaints" style="checkbox" /> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="832" answerLabel="Weight Loss" style="checkbox" /> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="6029" answerLabel="Night Sweats" style="checkbox" /> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="5949" answerLabel="Fatigue" style="checkbox" /> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="5945" answerLabel="Fevers" style="checkbox" /> <obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptId="871" answerLabel="Chills" style="checkbox" />
with:
<obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptIds="664,832,6029,5949,5945,871" answerLabels="No Complaints,Weight Loss,Night Sweats,Fatigue,Fevers,Chills" style="checkbox" />
Also, it should allow form designers to specify allow only one answer (i.e. radio button)or up to n answers (i.e. tick multiple answers). This will help with data quality tremendously.

@Ada--Great... I will try to do it sooner rather than later since it isn't hard to do and we don't have any specific release schedule planned...

here is the link for the commit i've done in my clone,
https://github.com/maurya/openmrs-module-htmlformentry/commit/a2b35ee9d0aac5a475287dcb91d4f4dbeed91882
Brief gist of my implementation goes as follows,
i've created a MultipleCheckboxWidget which works similar to radio and dropdown widget. MultipleCheckboxWidget also extends SingleOptionWidget which provides only the options to store the values, and the html is generated by MultipleCheckboxWidget accordingly. The ObsSubmissionElement is modified to accept even style="checkbox" when answerConceptIds or conceptIds is provided as attribute which earlier only accepted style="radio" or by default a dropdown, and each of the answerConceptIds or conceptIds are added as an option to the valueWidget casted as MultipleCheckboxWidget. Now to generate multiple checkboxes the following tag can be used as required,
<obs conceptId="1069" answerConceptIds="664,832,6029,5949,5945,871" answerLabels="No Complaints,Weight Loss,Night Sweats,Fatigue,Fevers,Chills" style="checkbox" />
I didn't change the original CheckboxWidget, so MultipleCheckboxWidget can be used only when this specified requirement is needed.
