I need a way to display a list of topics and allow the user to select and deselect topics.
This is all in a dynamic profile page, and once the user is done selecting these, then when they press ‘Update’ button, these will be stored in the database and assigned to that user in a list format.
Is there any way to do this? I have thought about drop down lists, but, these do not have the ability to select multiple options at a time… at least I don’t think they do. Any alternatives?
Hi Idris, I had a similar issue, which I eventually solved with checkboxes. As I have a couple of hundreds checkboxes on that dynamic page, the page performance is slow and cumbersome, but at least it works.
You can refer to the original post here: https://www.wix.com/code/home/forum/community-discussion/dropdown-list-with-multiple-selections-to-one-db-field
Lately, as I was looking for an alternative, I found a suggestion in another post (https://www.wix.com/code/home/forum/community-discussion/select-multiple-elements-from-dropdown-list), but I have not yet tried it.
@yisrael-wix Hi Yisrael, I received a notification email by you, an hour ago, about this post, which says, “Here’s how you can build your own multi-select dropdown using a Repeater.”, but when I click on the “Check It Out” button, I get this page (see attached pic).
Could you please repost the reference?
were you able to figure out the solution? I have a requirement to display multiple items in a dropdown with Select All, Deselect All option, which allow the user to select single or multiple items in the dropdown. I have about 50 items in the list, so a multi select checkbox option will not work for me
This is probably the example page that they were talking about, although you are much better posting a new post about your question.

Thank you for your reply. yes, this is what I am looking for. I will check if I can implement my req. the same way.
@avmgmnt Hi there! I’m wondering if you were able to implement this in the way you wanted to. I have a similar problem where I’m looking to provide a list of insurances for a provider to choose who they work with and would like to be able to select multiple options and store them in the database.
