Multi-select
Overview
The multi-select field allows users to select multiple values from predefined options. It is suitable for interest preferences, product tags, feature configuration, and other scenarios that require multiple selections. Note that this field cannot be used as a filter condition for roll-up summary fields or lookup relationship fields. If such filtering is needed, consider splitting into multiple single-select fields or using an alternative approach.

Default values and required settings
Default value
The multi-select field default value can select one or more predefined options as default options.
[!NOTE] The default value is auto-filled when creating a new record in the front end. Users can modify it after pre-filling. After modifying a default value formula, historical data is not recalculated.
Required configuration
- Field-level required: On the field configuration page, set “Required” to “Yes”. This applies across all scenarios (front-end entry and back-end import). Missing values prevent saving.
- Layout-level required: If the field is required only in specific business scenarios, set it as not required in the field properties. Then, in the specific page layout editor, check “Required”.
- Conditional required: If the required condition depends on the value of another field, configure validation rules.
Usage limitations
- Multi-select fields cannot be used as filter conditions for roll-up summary fields or lookup relationship fields.
