[Solved]Multiple select error -> Incorrect value

I have my eForm working exept for a multiple select field. Even when options are selected I get "Incorrect value" error in the validation message. Is there a trick with using multiple select fields with eForm? The field should be required so I need to have the validation.

The select looks like this:

I don’t have an answer to your question but I wonder if a set of checkboxes might work for you.

I am sorry to say that it wouldn’t, this is only a sample of the list, it has over 30 options so the check boxes will not be practical. Thanks for the idea. I have various standard select boxes that work fine, just the multiple one does not.

It will only go through if there are no options selected.

Also there are some special characters in the option values. I wondr if that could be a problem.

EDIT: removing the special chars from the values did the trick.

Maybe something like this... scrolling checkbox lists, the best of both worlds.

That is a cool solution, no need to control click for multiple selections which is a plus. I will consider it, thanks.

Very nice!

I didn’t know that was possible.
