Editor and Select Field types.

Is there a way to specify a SELECT is a MULTI-SELECT?

For example, I want to use a SELECT in the EDIT mode of our Datatable, where the user can specify MULTIPLE entries?

{
label: "Groups:",
name: "CATEGORY",
type: "select"
}

http://editor.datatables.net/reference/field/select should be able to help out.

do:

type: "select",multiple:true

Thanks!

Is there more to it than that?

I added the multiple option... but alas, it still only allows me to choose one.

{
label: "Group:",
name: "CATEGORY",
type: "select",
multiple: "true"
}

NEVERMIND! I GOT IT!

I had tried it without quotes before... and it didn't work. Must have been something else.

Works like a champ now.

THANKS!

"true" is not necessarily the same as true - one is a string and one is a boolean. If that doesn't work, more code & samples will be needed.

Hi,

Yes, this is exactly correct. Its one of the many quirks of Javascript: "true" == true but "true" !== true!

The boolean true is not strictly the same as the string true.

Good to hear you've got it up and running now.
