Custom forms: new field type External Lookup - Allow multi-selections

Description - It would be nice, if this field type would also provide the possibility to select more than one entry.

Why is this feature important to you - to have a "dynamic" dropdown field, which does support all features of static dropdown fields

How would you like the feature to work - similar to Multi-Select Dropdown

Current Behaviour - only one selection possible

    Sorry for late reply; I was referring to William's post under this thread:

    @gagiksukiasyan both of those links point to the same page. Are you able to update your post to include the second link?

    Documentation can be found here. 

    Additionally, this post includes quite good information on how to configure such fields.

    hi

    could you pls share documentation on how to use External lookups?

    If I want to configure a drop down for all sub groups under a particular group (which I am fetching in another field), i want to link these 2 fields using External lookups.

    1. what API should I use for groups/ group types.

    2. what should be the JSON path.

    Hopefully a document could help me with this.

    I'm thrilled to let you know that this functionality is now available, and you can make the External Lookup field accept multiple values:
