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?

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

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:

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
