In the current implementation, you have to add separate fields even to get multiple checkboxes associated with the same field.

Example: If I am creating a form for volunteering and I have a question that asks:

Can it be done during:

Evenings
Weekends
Anytime

it doesn't make sense to have three fields in the flexinode creation form that ask:

Can it be done during (checkbox) Evenings
Can it be done during (checkbox) Weekends
Can it be done during (checkbox) Anytime

Sure, it can still be done this way, but when this combines with the fact that you can only weight 21 fields (of course, this is not a purely flexinode issue) it makes flexinode a poor choice for custom node types that have many fields. This is especially so when the webform module is not a nodetype but just a form.

My request: Implement the ability for an admin to choose the number of checkboxes to associate with a checkbox field and enter the name/options for each checkbox. Result- one flexinode field in the node creation form that has multiple checkboxes.

I don't know if this is technically possible, but here is my request, anyway.

I don't know if there has been any follow up with this. I know it isn't the most glamorous project, but it sure is an important one from my perspective. Any takers?

Hm. Sounds to me that this could be resolved with theming the flexinode edit page.
Also you can try to ask the question in a different way or use a text area instead of radio buttons.
I still don't understand the question. Sounds to me like 3 buttons is exactly what you need?
You could have 3 drop down menus with multiple selects:
Day From To

This is a request for a new field.
