    Is there a way to pick multiple items in a drop down field

    There are several customized drop down fields I have made, but I want to be able to select more than one option from the drop down list I have created. Is this possible in method? If so, how do I edit my drop down fields to allow that?

    Thanks!

    Hey Lex,

    There is no way you can choose multiple options from a drop down. 

    You can however, add multiple drop downs to the screen that is pulling the same field. 

    There is also the option of creating a detail table, for example take a look at the Invoice and LineItems and how you can add multiple Items.

    Mortaza,

    Can't you add Checkboxes to your grid?  Client can check what's appropiate and then you need to set up Loop through Grid actions to process checked boxes...

    Hey Fran,

    That's a great idea. OP - if you wanted to take in multiple records in one go you can definitely look into a loop through grid action. Here is a LINK from our help center that goes into the subject in more detail.
