Add Options to Multi-Select Listbox

[Role21]

Is it possible to add options to a multi-select listbox? If yes, how will I be able to do that?

Hi @Role21,

Yes, that is possible. If you are using a Submission form, these are the steps that you need to follow:

1. Create a Look Up table that will store the values of your listbox.
2. On your Submission DataPage, set your field to be in a listbox form element.
3. Use a Look Up table as your data source on your listbox.
4. Add custom code to dynamically add options to your listbox. Please follow the steps on this link: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/automatically-add-options-to-dropdowns-and-listboxes/
5. Make your field a multi-select listbox. Follow the steps here:

Great! Let me try that one.

Another question, what if I will use that on a details page? Will I still follow the same steps?

Hi @Role21,

Yes, you can still follow the same steps except for number 5. For Update/Details pages, you need to follow the steps on this article on how to select multiple values:
