Is there a way to create custom dropdown field with multi-selection ?

Question

We have a case where Sales team raises POC requests with different modules.
Any request can have any combination of those modules (one, some, all).
Modules come from fixed list. And the number of modules is high, so I cannot create dropdown with all those combinations.

Can you provide multi-select option in dropdown ?

I also tried creating checkboxes custom field. It is not letting me add any items to it ! And there is no example that shows how to do it.

Hi @Dhananjay_Talekar

I believe that you may achieve this use case using on of the apps we provide at Deviniti - to be more specific - Extension for JSM.

Thanks to this app, you may set up dependencies between fields or modules and show only content you need in this specific context, for example:

I strongly encourage you to take a look at our clickable demo of this app: https://deviniti.storylane.io/share/6xbylsfiy8od and verify whether it meets your expectations.

In case if you'd like to see a live demo of this app, you may also book a demo with our team: https://calendly.com/deviniti/45min?back=1 - we'd be glad to discuss your requirements and use case.

Best regards,

Hi @Dhananjay_Talekar

I don't believe there is a native multi-select dropdown custom field, only single-select.

The checkbox field is also singular as far as I know - rather than multi-select (unlike the "checklists" function you get on a card view - which could be an option?)

Outside of this, you'll need to consider a power-up - I'd check out options like Amazing Fields or another option from the Marketplace
