Hi,



You can use the Variable as "List Collector" for selecting multiple Values as shown below:

The above List Collector can also be converted into a Glide List Variable as it is available in Incident or any other form, similar to Watch List field where users can select multiple values too .The only modification needed to the above Variable is while defining the variable give the Variable attributes as "glide_list" as shown below:

Result:

User can select Multiple Values here from the table you are referencing to:)

Hi Shloke,

I have a small question in this. Is it possible to place these value on different fields once we select multiple options from referenced table?

 

We have  a requirement wherein we want to select multiple options from referenced table and place each option in different field. Is this possible with glide_list option?

Shloke,



I had the same question and tried your suggestion. It totally worked for me. Thanks!


Shloke,



Actually, I have a follow-up question on this. I followed your suggestion and it worked in Istanbul but it didn't work in Geneva. Does "glide_list" not supported in Geneva?



Thanks,
