How to display items selected from a multiselect dropdown

Hi All,

New Bubbler here.

Does anyone have any experience using the Multiselect Searchable Dropdown: Multiselect Searchable Dropdown Plugin | Bubble

I want to use a dropdown to allow a user to select multiple options in a popup and then save those selections to their user settings page and I’m having trouble figuring out how to get the selected options to save.

I managed to get it mostly working using RGs for both selection and display, but it’s clunky, doesn’t look great and you couldn’t deselect an option. I did this with custom states and clear list/add list workflows. But the expressions and workflows I used in that method aren’t working with the dropdown.

All help most appreciated. I can share screen shots if that would be helpful

On the data type you are trying to save to you need a data field that is of type list and is of the same type of data as in your multi dropdown element. So if your multi dropdown element is showing a list of numbers, your data field needs to be of type number and be set to list.

Then when you do a workflow action to make changes to the data type you want to add the values to, you will select the field you have setup and in the dynamic expression for the value reference the multidropdowns value.

Thanks so much (again) @boston85719!

I ended up switching to the Bubble plugin, which was more what I wanted anyway. Initially I wasn’t able to download it from the Marketplace for some reason but the Bubble support people came back to me with a solution on installing it.

It’s working perfectly now :slightly_smiling_face:
