qgis
I am presently working with some layers containing location data for plots/parcel data. Some of the parcels have multiple use types.
Is it possible to configure the Check Box or Value Map (widgets type) so that it can allow me/user to input/choose multiple options in cases where the parcel has more than one use type?
I am using QGIS 2.18
Try 32-bit version - on Windows it works.
You can't edit joined vector layers or csv tables through attribute table of original layer, but you can edit your .csv (added through add vector layer) separately in it's attribute table, same way as other vector layer. Or as @ConstanceL wrote in his answer, export layer with joined table via Save as...
Update:
Now I get it, you want use auto open form via Identify tool. For this you don't need joins at all. You have to create relation of layers in project properties.
Go to Project-->Project Properties-->Relations and add relation. Set your csv table as a Child and vector layer as a Parent. Now after hitting (auto open form) identify you get Feature Attributes window with editable attribute table of related data, like this:

I found a solution like that:
Create a CSV file which contains use types (
Parcel_Types.csv).File content: (example)
Add it using "Layer > Add Layer > Add Delimited Text Layer". Choose "No Geometry"
Add
ParcelTypefield to Parcel_Layer. Field type should be the same with types in CSV. That's, sincetype1,type2, etc are string, therefore, type of the field should be string (Text). If values are integer (for example: type code1,2instead oftype1,type2) in CSV, then field type should be integer.Open "Layer Properties > Fields". Set options as in the image. (choose Parcel_Types table (comes from csv) as Layer, check "Allow multiple selections")
