How would we do this if we needed to assign multiple users?
Table MultiSelect fields are not shown in the “Field” dropdown in the “Assign To Users” section.

HI @meichthys:

Can’t do it with assignment rule.
Actually, assignment is a related ToDo. So, you can manage it with some scripting.

In this example I created a custom multiselect field for add users (custom_assigned_users) on Sales Order doctype.

This server script (before_save), will allocate an assignment for each user on multiselect, linked to the Sales Order and due_date in 10 days.

for u in doc.custom_assigned_users:

    new_assign = frappe.get_doc(
    {"doctype": "ToDo",
    "allocated_to": u.name,
    "reference_type": "Sales Order",
    "reference_name": doc.name,
    "description": "There is a new sales order for you ...",
    "priority": "Medium",
    "date": frappe.utils.add_to_date(days=10, as_string=True),
    "assigned_by": frappe.session.user
}).insert(ignore_permissions=True)

Hope this helps.
