Make the app more mobile friendly by using tiles for multiple choice.

The current multi-select interface in Fulcrum presents usability challenges for field technicians. The checklist layout places option labels on the far right and selection checkmarks on the far left. On mobile screens, this visual separation causes eye strain and misclicks, making it difficult to quickly confirm selections in active field conditions.
Proposed Enhancement
Transition the multi-select field UI for high-frequency inspection forms (such as Gas AOCs) to a visual tile or button grid layout.
Large Target Area: Render options as large, touch-friendly rectangular tiles that span the screen cleanly.
Immediate Visual Feedback: Upon selection, the tile should toggle its state dynamically by changing color (for example, switching from light gray to high-contrast highlighted blue or green) and adding a bold border.
Layout Efficiency: Support multi-column tile grids (2 to 3 tiles per row) to keep options visible on a single screen without excessive vertical scrolling.
Specific Implementation Target: Gas AOC Selection List
This feature is urgently needed for the Gas AOCs form to streamline multi-option field logging. Technicians frequently select one or more of the following conditions:
SOI
VP
VEG
S&P
CORR
REG VENT
HDR
NHL
CURB NO
METER
SSC
SOV
Business Justification
Reduces Data Entry Errors: Clear, full-tile color changes eliminate ambiguity about which specific codes are toggled on or off.
Speeds Up Field Work: Tap-and-highlight visual tiles are drastically faster to navigate on handheld devices than aligning wide horizontal text rows.
Glove-Friendly Interaction: Larger tap targets improve accuracy when technicians operate mobile devices while wearing protective gear.
