It's 2022, why is this not a thing yet?
Hey @gareth, that's fair feedback!
It's true that a multi-select doesn't exist as such, but this doesn't mean that you can't build one.
You can create a Slice called multi-select with the title of what would be the "select" tag in HTML and then add a Boolean field in the repeatable zone.
Unfortunately I need a multiselect filed inside a slice as I'm already using a slice. If I use the repeatable zone inside the slice exclusively to create 'multiselect' functionality I lose the ability to have any repeatable items inside my slice.
Not to mention having to deserialise my data to create a simple flat array of strings.
Is this in the pipeline at all?
Hello @gareth, we're tracking this as a feature request but we don't have an ETA for when it'll be developed.
You can follow our status page if you're interested in seeing everything that we're working on
Thanks
I submitted it "again" on the roadmap. I agree with @gareth.
From a technical standpoint, the input element already exists, only an extra attribute is needed.
Restoring values in the UI shouldn't that hard.
<select id="a7cd090b-b247-49" value="Audi,Volvo" multiple="">
<option selected="selected" value="Audi">Audi</option>
<option selected="selected" value="Volvo" >Volvo</option>
<option value="Saab">Saab</option>
<option value="Opel">Opel </option>
</select>
PS it is not the first time we mentioned this "lack" of functionality
