The only place currently supporting multiple values is tags. I guess someone could build a plug-in or customization to do what you want, using special tag values for storage. – Michel de Ruiter♦ Nov 9 at 8:09

FogBugz (and drop-down lists in general) doesn't support this. What types of items are you trying to select?

	Are the any other ways/custom field types to select multiple values? – ldevoux May 12 2011 at 18:14
	I can't say for sure (we'll have to leave it up to FogBugz staff to give a definitive answer), but from the structure of the database tables, I strongly suspect the answer is no. What kind of items do you wish to select multiple values of? – James McLeod♦ May 12 2011 at 20:04

Well, for example, I have an incident thats affecting 3 different services. I want to set up a drop down menu where I can select all the services affected by that incident.

Just to make it a bit more clear

<<Dropdown menu>>
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Option 5

I want to be able to select Option 1, 2 and 5 at the same time

I'm baffled that this isn't an available field type!

Let's say we need to track affected browsers for a defect. Is there no field to track multiple options?

For example:
Select browser(s) affected:
[X] Internet Explorer
[X] Firefox
[  ] Chrome
[  ] Safari
[  ] Opera

Seems the dropdown list only allows one response from the multiple choice list.

How to select multiple values from the drop down fields?
