    Hi,

    There is no out of the box support for multi-select picklists, but since CRM2013, you can use a standard N:N Relationship with form subgrid to get a respectable multiple selection field.

    1. Create a custom entity (e.g. Language)

    2. Create a custom N:N relationship (E.g. Language->Contact)

    3. Edit the 'Active Languages' view and remove the created on field -leaving just the name field

    4. Edit the Contact form and insert a sub-grid, selecting 'Languages' as the entity, set 'Show Label on form'

    You then get a nice control that allows you to add languages by typing in the inline lookup control:

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

    There is no OOB Control for it. You can vote for one here.

    Check this blog for an alternative solution.

    Hi,

    Yes, that is a drawback with that method. The only supported way of doing multi-select lists that can be used on-create is to create a html web resource that contains the multi-select control and then set a text field on the form. You would then intercept the save via a post create/update plugin and do the associating over the N:N relationship.

    Also you might consider using multiple Boolean fields.

    Hope this helps,

    Scott
