Same Multiselect twice.

Colin Laurencelle

Is there a way that the a selection in a Multi select dropdown can be selected more than once? When you select the one of the options, it gets removed for the list. I'm wondering if there's a work around so that someone could pick the same thing twice, as a way of managing quantity.

The drop down I'm working with is pretty massive (with good reason). I don't really want to create a column for Quantity, for every value.

Hi @Colin Laurencelle

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

There might be a possible workaround.

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Sure thing,

So here's what I got:

The drop down is a multiselect, and I need the user to be able to select a quantity for every selection. T add to the complexity, there's 150+ Broken Parts... I don't really want 150+ columns, because the sheet version of the form will be used as well.
