Choosing multiple items from a dropdown?

[philip.eliot]

I have a one-to-many field, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to populate it from a form. Is there a way to have a dropdown or something similar that allows a user to select multiple items from a list to populate a one-to-many field?

Thanks,
Philip

Hi,

You might want to check out the demo one-to-many chooser I built the other day, using the Table custom component:

Building a rich table as a custom component

@splinter - I cracked and built you a demo. It’s a simple one-to-many relationship - you have groups, with members, and you can edit the membership list with a searchable paginated popup. Here it is (you’ll need to change the dependencies to your own copy of the Table app and recreate the Table components): https://anvil.works/ide#clone:3CUOLZTFPAYLMH6Y=OQK35BVP4RBU4VXZPXUZCV3H

You can also find several examples of one-to-many choices in the Secure Download Portal example app (eg when choosing groups for users).

Hope that helps!
