Multi Select Array - Form - Bootstrap Multiselect

Hi,

I have a form where I can select one attribute and it passed on to my database. Is there any way to make multiple attributes passed on to my database just via a change in the form? Or would I have to create a new model and have it pass through that way?

<div class="form-group">     <%= f.label :kind %><br>        <select class="multiselect">           <%= f.select :kind, [['beer','0'],['chocolate','1'],['cocktail','2'],['coffee','3'], ['tea','4'], ['wine','5'], ['juice','6']], class: "form-control" %>       </select> </div>

I tried adding a multiselect gem: https://www.omniref.com/ruby/gems/bootstrap-multiselect-rails/0.0.2

and added the js as indicated here: https://github.com/davidstutz/bootstrap-multiselect

But for my "f.select" button, not sure what I need to add? If I do the option list as in the plugin documentation, how would I make it save to :kind in my database?

Thanks, Fatima
