I inherited a form and now the developers what it changed from a drop down menu to a check-box so that they can select multiple resources to search. How can i do this current xml is below:

If you want to select multiple resources, you need to create a checkbox input (not a radio input) and configure it if you are in splunk web (this configuration is developed in splunk-Viz manual), otherwise if you want to modify directly in your source code, write the scripted input like follow instead your input type radio :

<input type="checkbox" token="Sourcetype" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <choice value="*">All</choice>
      <populatingSearch fieldForLabel="Host" fieldForValue="Host">index=idx_cat |stats count by   Sourcetype</populatingSearch>
      <prefix>(</prefix>
      <suffix>)</suffix>
      <valuePrefix>Sourcetype="</valuePrefix>
      <valueSuffix>"</valueSuffix>
      <delimiter>OR</delimiter>
    </input> 

Thus, with this, you are going to select multiple resources.
