Hello team,

I have successfully put in place my first application. basically it retreives an ecel file from google drive then displays a form on Glide.  
the issue is the following : all columns are properly displayed unless the once with a multi-selection setup (or drop list). they are not considered nor recognised on glide. is that a normal restriction which required a fancy workaround (which I don’t know yet)?  
Thank you very much for your help and support.  
Am

Do you mean you have uploaded an xlsx file to Glide to create a new table?

There’s no column type that supports the layout you mentioned in Glide. If you want something like that on the front end side of things (not the data view), you can use a choice component.

Understood. I will try this workaround then. Thank you for the prompt answer.
