Hello Team,

I would like to know if there is a way, when using "Drop Down multiple" field the user to be able to select his entries without holding the Ctrl or Shift key and selecting as it is kind of frustrating from user's perspective. Also , if I can make the drop down list box bigger.

Thank you.

Click and drag works if you need to select multiple options directly above or below one another. This is normal browser multi-select behavior though (along with ctrl click).

Sorry, that is not what u asked. There are some functionalities in the multi drop down (generally ) that user can click on his option and the option is highlighted and a check mark appears in the right side of the selection. Like this user do not need to hold any key to select many entries.

Also I don't want to drag anything.

Do you know what I mean?

Thank you.

It's a standard HTML select input. How you select multiple values is entirely based off the browser. If you're meaning how select2 usage works there is currently no way to use select2 for our core select or multi-select fields at this time without forcing it using CB Auto Actions, but it may or may not work with other plugins like CB Conditional or form validation.

You can increase the size of the multi-select field by editing it within CB > Field Management and adjusting the Size parameter under the Global tab.
