I can't use ListCollector, Can I make Select Box as Multi Select in Catalog using Client Script

[Prathibha7]

Hello All,

Appreciate if anyone help on this!

As per my requirement I can't use List Collector or Multiple Choice, so I created 'Select Box' variable. It's working fine but would like to use the 'Select Box' as 'multi select' like 'ListCollector'. Tried different ways but no luck. Appreciate if any ideas? Thanks,

Regards,

Prathibha

Hi @Prathibha7 

Only with the Checkbox and the Multiple Choice you could select multiple values. So we can use Select Box for selecting multiple values.

Thanks and Regards

A List Collector is the only multi select variable available.  Depending on the use case, a multi-row variable set containing one select box could be an alternative - so the users would add a row for each selection.  I'm curious why you "can't" use a List Collector - is there a functionality limitation that isn't working in your case, or is there an appearance or other preference/mandate from a requestor who may not know everything?

Hi, there is a way you can use the list collector.

Create your choices using the Type: select box or create them in the "question_choice" table (making sure the question is allocated to your variable)

Create your variable with the below properties...
Type: List collector
Table: question_choice
Reference qualifier: question=<<sys_id of variable>>

And thats it! 

Please mark as helpful or if its resolved the issue, CORRECT!
