Hello @Nilesh_Shirsat,

We already support this multiple entries dropdown widget for the [Enum] type.

Here a snippet that shows you how to configure it.

 actions: [{
    name: 'Multiselect dropdown',
    type: 'single',
    fields: [{
      field: 'dropdown',
      description: 'Multiselect dropdown test',
      type: ['Enum'],
      enums: ['a', 'c', 'b'],
      isRequired: true
    }]
  }],

You can see the actual behavior in the attached screenshot.

I totally get that it can be hard to create a Smart Action form depending on your use case.

In some use cases you need to use the Smart action dynamic hooks (load & change hooks) to fill the enums values and get the right behavior.

  • Could you share a case where you struggle to use this dropdown ?

Thanks for you feedbacks, it help us building the best experience for our customers. :pray:

Kind regards,
Morgan
