The field type "select+multi" does not work, albeit there is partial code support in Form.pm. The patch below does the rest:

Any reason why you do not check in this code change to SVN?

Are you not sure about the fix? Or do you not have access to the core?

I have been running this on our site, so I am sure. I just wanted to get feedback whether this is desired... Maybe there is some weird reason why the code did not get finished that I don't understand... --TW

Maybe have a look at the TWiki:Plugins.ExtendedSelectPlugin which has even more really useful code that cold go in here.

-- MD

Excellent suggestion. This plugin is a rather small, but very usefull enhancement to TWikiForms, and can be made slightly more consistent when integrated. The only feature I wonder about is "select+shrink". --TW
