Uncheck the option to allow selecting multiple. ![Screen Shot 2022-12-17 at 12.27.29 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/8/68a0e7b808183f216cb5c0b4ad648b10138a11df.png) ---

Hey @Darren_Murphy Thanks for fast reply! Unfortunately I don’t see this option ☹ ![Skærmbillede 2022-12-16 kl. 17.33.27](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/3/33de8f2d53a013aa5f8a651a2d7a616cff3753a9.jpeg) ---

I’m not sure, but I think that might be because you’re writing through a relation column. ![Screen Shot 2022-12-17 at 12.39.35 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/c/8c0701f929f2c083ef70bfb138685ec8724ea0b0.png) Is the target column in the same table, or some other table? If it’s in the same table, try writing directly to the column, rather than through the relation. ---

It is the same table, but I use Airtable as my database. In Airtable the column is linked to a another database, which holds all the values I put into the column stated above. I hope it make sense. ---

Okay. I’m not fully familiar with how AirTable works with Glide, so I can’t say for sure what’s going on here. Hopefully somebody that knows more about AirTable will be able to advise. ---

I reached out to Glide-support, and George from Glide pointed me in the right direction. If anyone else have trouble with this, then you control this function from Airtable. I’ve attached a screenshot of the solution, and I hope it will help others 🙂 Uncheck “Allow linking to multiple records”, if you don’t want the user to link multiple choices. ![Uncheck this one](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/5/c5a8d229e6fafcbd69981ffd01035b7bfecfb934.png) ---
