Hi,

Someone in support gave me the syntax to be able to have a list of items in a textarea that a user could select multiple items from. I've lost the syntax. It was something like multiple="multiple" in the Additional Values entry area.

Could anyone give me a hand with this?

Cheers
Brett

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way of achieving this with a Text Area field as there is no way to customize the field to be controlled as a multiple items select list.

You can consider using a Dropdown form component instead of a Text Area field and set the "Multiple" option of the drop-down field to Yes. This way the names can be set in the Items area of the field and the user can select which Items he desires from the field.
