Hi David,
I had to setup a separate new Table Buildmaps just to hold the values that I want the user to select from.
The new Table is stand alone, no relationships needed.
In there is a simple Text field, called Buildmap, set to Unique.
I imported all my choices into this Text field.
Then in the Fieldmaps field - the field that I want the users to enter their Multi-Select choices, I set type as Multi-Select Text.
Then Input "From another field".
Select shared field option which then pops up a list of Apps.
I selected the same App that Fieldmaps is in because the Table containing all the Buildmaps is also in this same App. The table of values can be in the same App or a different App.
Then another window asks you to pick the fieldname and you would select the fieldname that contains all your choices, in my case Buildmaps.
I entered 116 choices in Buildmaps and it shows them in my Fieldmaps field and user can select them.
I will end up with over 400 values eventually.
User cannot add new choices in Fieldmaps, so I set up a button that takes them to "Add a new Buildmap" if they need to update the Buildmap list. I put the button on the form and also in the Table they use for Grid Edit, for convenience.
Hope this helps.
