 * I have created a custom field, set the type as Select and set the Control Type
   as Checkbox. Now I would expect this field to appear on the New Product page 
   as a multiple selection set of checkboxes, but it shows up as a single select
   dropdown instead. This is a bug, I guess?

 * Hi henk,
 * The custom fields do not allow you to make a selection on the product page. They
   display information on the product page as well as on the catalog page, and can
   also be used for filtering.
 * The control type sets how a user will be able to filter it on the front end (
   i.e. in the sidebar on the catalog page). So, the way you have it set it up, 
   the select part means you’ll get a dropdown when editing the product and the 
   user will see checkboxes in the sidebar on the front end.
