Hi there!
We have a smart action with a list of checkboxes that have been working fine since we introduced it months ago. This morning, the checkbox widget on the smart action has disappeared and is now a text box causing inconvenience to our content team.
The source code has not been changed from our side in the last 2 weeks and the GET API connected to the smart action is working as expected.
**Summary of the issue** **- Expected behavior**
1. Open **Add amenities** smart action
2. Smart action form rendering all our amenities as checkboxes for agents to select (as seen below)
3. Agent selects amenities and saves.
**Actual Behavior - from this morning:**
1. Open **Add amenities** smart action
2. Agent is only able to type amenities in a text box. It’s not even a **Belongs to Typeahead, Belongs to Select or Dropdown widgets** as seen in the screenshot below
We have found that if we refresh 2-3x then the checkboxes appear again. FYR the below attached video - _note I’ve excluded the first 2 refresh attempts to reduce file size._

Hi @Yusra_Bagosher 👋 Have you got any errors logs on your browser console when the checkboxes disappear?

I see two error in your code:
- inside the `Amenties` field
`type: ['Enums']` =\> `type: ['Enum']`
- inside the `Agent` field
`widget: 'belongsto dropDown'` =\> `widget: 'belongsto dropdown'`
Let me know
