Standard

Multi Select

A Multi Select column stores several values from a defined list on one record. Use it when a record legitimately has many of something — skills, tags, eligible divisions — and you do not need to attach extra data to each value.

In one line

Multiple values from a defined list: skills, tags, and eligibilities.

Good to know

If each value needs its own fields (dates, status, files), use a linked collection instead of a multi select.
Multi selects filter with contains logic — good for eligibility checks in policies.
