Field Type - Select multiple values

When someone is filling in a Catalog Item I want them to have the ability to select multiple options, however the current setup using "Select Box" only allows you to select one of the values.  Please can you tell me how this can be achieved?

Hi,

 

You can create variable with type as "List Collector". So that user can be able to select multiple options.

 To avoid filter option for that variable, Make sure you have to add "no_filter" attribute to variable attributes field under "default Value" section.

Thanks for the response. I thought List Collectors had to look up against a table in ServiceNow? If so these multiple choices are not stored in any table.

You have to select the "List Table" field under "Type Specifications" tab. So that the choices should be visible.

If you want a separate table to store choice values, then create a new table for all the list collector choices and select the same table in "List Table" field.

If the reply was informational, Please like, mark as correct or mark as helpful.

Is there no way of doing this without creating a table? Seems strange you can create options for a check box but you can't use those option to allow someone to select multiple choices.

@kevwatson - was this issue ever resolved? I'm needing to do the same thing and would love to avoid having to create a table for it.
