Can you have Dropdown boxes with MultiSelect options?

[Mark Ackroyd]

We can't seem to find a way to create Dropdown boxes with Multiple select options.  Is this possible in Next-Gen projects?

Hi @Mark Ackroyd ,

Available fields for next-gen projects can be found here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/available-custom-fields-for-next-gen-projects-957511207.html

For dropdown fields, you can only select a single option.

Yes, thanks for the clarification. 

I really love *some* of the features the next gen projects bring, but in some aspects and this being one of them it's not feature rich enough to make it viable. 

[Sara Saran]

Agreed! such an easy change in my mind to make it worthwhile

Hey Mark - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There are not a lot of options for what the multiselect looks like or operates. You might take a look at this:
