I'm guessing that this is displayed multiple times using a JX forEach 
loop, rather than a repeater?

I think just using an fd:multivaluefield should work; the widget will 
take care of parsing the multiple values from the request into an Array 
object.  That would also simplify your flowscript since you'll always 
get an Array rather than having to do the if/else for single vs. 
multiple selection.

However, usually multivaluefield widgets have their individual checkbox 
items generated from a selection-list, rather than by iterating manually 
and calling ft:widget multiple times with different values.  I'm not 
sure how your approach will work with AJAX updates since it's a 
nonstandard use of the widget.
