I have a DB where a user needs to select various options for their profile - in airtable we have select and multiselect data types for options - in Glide are there select and multiselect data types for options or do I need create seperate tables for each option and reference back to user table ? That may be alot of tables …

The Choice component allows multi-select.

When multi-select is enabled, it will write a comma separated list of values to the target column. If those values are subsequently needed as an array, a Split Text column can be used to coerce them into one.
