Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to have several drop down menus associated with a particular field. My problem is as follows, currently I have a particular field where its value is a name of a person obtained from a list of names from a drop down menu. However, I would like to be able to select on certain occasions more than one name from this same drop down list of names. 

The field name in question is "Call-out" as in the name of a person called out. I guess I could add another field say "Call-out 2" and have a drop down menu of names for this new field too but I would like to avoid this if possible. So I would like possiby to have two (or more) drop down menus side by side for this Call-out field which would each populate this one field with the names selected (if any) from each drop down menu. This way if only an a selection is made from the first drop down menu then it should work as it does currently but if an entry was also selected from the second drop down menu then both names should populate the field when the log is complete.

I hope I have been clear in my question/request? Many thanks in advance for any help or suggestions received.

 

Try

Moptions = name1, name2, ...

This gives you not a drop down list, but a series of check boxes, where you can select multiple persons simultaneously.
