    The select list size is not controlled by Datatables. You will need to set the appropriate select attribute to do what you want. Here is one example:

    I use size in non-datatables forms and it works perfectly. I tried this in DT but it has no effect:

      {
        label: 'Page assignment:',
        name:  'url',
        type:  "select",
        size: "10",
        multiple: true,
        separator: ":",
        ...
    

    }

    "size" is not a valid property for a DataTables select.
    Apply it to HTML as Kevin showed.

    Didn't realize you were using Editor. See if using attr works, like this:

    {
      label: 'Page assignment:',
      name:  'url',
      type:  "select",
      attr: {
        size: "10",
      },
      multiple: true,
      separator: ":",
      ...
