When looking into the documentation and trying it I found:
- bool choices allow me to only select one option, and only one
- tristate choices allow me to only select one option, if the initial tristate
is set to yes. If the initial tristate is set to module, it allows zero to all
options to be set.
That said, neither covers my requirement here: require that at least one
option is set, but allow more options.
Thanks
Stephan
