Data Source (Multiple)
Last updated 2 November 2026
The 'Data Source (Multiple)' field type allows users to select multiple values for a given field. For example, if the related table has a column for storing 'colors,' users can pick multiple values (Red, Green, Blue) instead of selecting one.
When this field type is selected, the system provides the following UI element options:
- Search (Multiple)
- Select (Multiple)
The following conditional fields are displayed for either of these UI elements:
| Input Label | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Source | Dropdown Field | Yes | Select the target databases that will populate this field's options. This establishes a relational link between the current database and the selected source. |
| Display Field | Dropdown Field | Yes |
Determines which column from the source database is visible to the user. This allows you to store a technical ID (Foreign Key) while displaying a human-readable value, such as a name or title. This field only appears when a value is selected in the 'Data Source' field. |
| Mandatory | Toggle | No | When enabled, a selection must be made to save the record. If disabled, the field can remain unassigned. |
Search (Multiple)
Selecting this UI element displays a form with the following input requirements in the 'Appearance' tab:
| Input Label | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Show in table view | Toggle | No | Toggle to show or hide the UI element in table view. |
| Help Text (Tooltip) | Text Area | No | Help text to assist users in utilizing the field correctly. |
| Column Width in table view (%) | Number Field | No | Column width of the field in percent when in table view. You may use values between 1-100. |
Select (Multiple)
The input requirements for this UI element's form in the 'Appearance' tab align with the inputs for the 'Search' UI element.
