Multiple Select Dropdown
Hi all,
I don't recall where I read that using multiple select dropdowns was not a good idea. I can't seem to find the reason why. I am creating a sheet that has up to 3 selections in one field and am questioning if its a good idea. Hoping to get the communities opinion on this before I continue with my sheet setup.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nicole_Codi17,
I think it is good to use Multi-select dropdowns if you want to have up to 3 selections in one field. But depends on what formula and actions you want to perform with that specific column.
I think there will not be any such problem. But if you face anything then reach out here on community.☺️
Thank you.

I hope you're well and safe!
There are some limitations to consider for card view (it doesn't work with multi-select) and reporting (can't group and more when it's multi-select)
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
