How to enable multiple select in a drop-down field?

Hi all,

I have drop-down field listing different products. I would like to enable multiple select on that field because right now users can only select one product at a time which is not convenient when a given customer wants more than one product, hence the need to enable the multiple select option. 

How can I do that?

Thanks.

Hi Kat,

ERPNext doesn't have a multi-select widget.

We need to have context to help you. Please share some screenshots and code so that we get the context of what you are trying to do.

Thanks,
Anand.

Hi Anand,

The problem is like this. You have form with a list of products. On ERPnext only one product can be selected at a time, no way to select two products on that list.
So I was asking a way to enable multiple-select on ERPnext, meaning if you have Samsung S4 and S3 among the products, you can select the two at once (like in simple HTML form).

I guess I am quite clear, if I am not please feel free to ask for more details.

Kind regards,
Kat

Hi Kat,

It is possible, but it is not available out of the box.

You will have to create a widget in a dialog where user can select multiple items and on OK, create rows for that Item in the Item table and also execute the triggers for Item Code field.

Thanks,
Anand.

@ZodEnIX it a very old thread, better if you open new thread with your issue and reference back only to specific details from old thread if at all required.
