I have a brand new Drupal 8 installation (my first D8 site). I've created a new content type with a Term Reference field.

When adding content, it appears that the only way to select a term is via type ahead, auto-complete. Instead, I need a simple list of terms with checkboxes.

I can't recall struggling with this in D7 before. Is there a module I should install... or setting that I should configure?

    When you add fields to a content type the widget settings are in a separate tab "Manage form display". I think in D7 field settings and widgets were in the same tab.

There is a D8 version of Term Reference Tree that works great for this. Especially if you have a hierarchical term layout.
