I'm trying to have a project configured that I want to include multiple lists that act just like the Component built-in field.  This includes the requirement that the project owner can see the list of values available to the field and add/delete them.

Thought about just using a label field but the company pools all of the labels into one list.  When adding labels there are too many to choose from and often the user can select the wrong one which creates an issue when trying to filter issues in the project.

The changes are all being done by our IT department so if this is possible, I need to be able to describe how to do it to them.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Jeffrey Pream 

As @Matt Doar _Adaptavist_ mentions, you have a

- Select List (multiple choices)

- another label field.

Both of them need maintenance (adding/deleting)

It sounds like you are looking for a multiselect custom field. You can choose multiple values from a preset list of options. Users cannot change the list of options.
