We’ve added new features to the data lookup multi-select gadget to give users more flexibility and control when working with selected values. These enhancements are focused on improving visibility, accessibility, and ordering of values—especially in scenarios where the arrangement of selected items matters.

What’s New?

Users will now be able to:

• Display selected values in a list rather than a string, making them easier to view and manage.
• Reorder selected values using a drag-and-drop interaction, so you no longer have to remove and re-add values just to change their order.
• Enable links to the selected values, allowing direct access to related documents right from the list view.

Display as a List

A new checkbox labeled “Display as a list” is now available under Advanced Settings in the data lookup multi-select configuration. When enabled:

• Selected values will now appear in a list
• Values can be reordered using drag and drop

Reorder Values

After selecting values in a multi-select:

• Drag the handle next to a selected item and move it to the desired position.
• The list updates immediately to reflect the new order.

Link to Documents

You’ll also find a new “Link to document” toggle within the settings. When enabled:

• Selected values in the multi-select appear as clickable links.

• If the linked document is accessible, it will open in a new tab.

  • If the user does not have permission to view the linked document, an error message will inform the user.
