new field to have multiple selections

SOLVED

We are at V11- Is there a way where we can create a new field that uses the local menu but can allow multiple selections from the local menu?   We have a list of 14 items that we need on the product but instead of creating 14 different fields with check box was wondering if there is a way where we can have a selection and check what items from the list we require for that product.  Hope this makes sense.  

thanks

    Hi Christine,

    Unfortunately local menu's don't provide this functionality. The only way I have seen this done in standard Sage X3 is with the Allergens field on the product record which provides a custom look up list with check boxes that then returns a string of single characters to the field on the product record, with each character representing a particular allergen.

    To replicate that would take a fair amount of customisation, so you may be better just adding the 14 separate checkbox fields. Or, if you are not using the Allergen functionality, you could enable it (I think it is v11 - activity code FOA) and relabel the field to something like 'Attributes' or 'Properties' and set up each of the 14 attributes with a different letter in the Allergens table for selection.

    thanks Damien,  We actually had a customization done for this.
