How to add multipledropdownfield component to editable grid?

I want to add multipledropdownfield component to editable grid.
When I tried to do the same thing getting the below error message.

A grid layout component [label=“Label”] has an invalid value for “rows”. The row layout at index 1 contains a component that is not supported in the grid layout.

Could you please provide any workaround solution for my requirement

  • As per Appian documentation, enditable grid supports only Supports Barcode, Checkboxes, Date, Date & Time, Dropdown, Decimal, Encrypted Text, File Upload, Image, Integer, Link, Paragraph, Pickers, Progress Bar, Radio Buttons, Rich Text, and Text. It doesnt support multipledropdownfield. If it is possible, you can logically group the options and make selection on single select component
  • @bhanusreev Hi, if your interest purely lies in making more than one selection at a time, then isn't it worth thinking about SAIL components that allows you to make more than one selection at a time? Checkboxes and Pickers are the available options for you and personally I would have opted for Checkbox if I have come across this use-case. A trade-off with checkbox is that it won't show a scrollbar as Multiple Drop Down does in case of many values. Trade-off with pickers is that values won't be shown until and unless the interactions are made.

    If Checkboxes/Pickers doesn't fit your requirements, I would suggest going for providing a link for each item in the Paging Grid and clicking it should surface the data in a new section with a capability to edit (similar to content at http://bit.ly/28QWTDX). From my perspective, logical Grouping as suggested above might be an option, but is a overhead in terms of reading, writing and updating data, if it's not already in place.
  • Thank you karthikeyans75 and sikhivahans for your inputs. I am using check box in grid as multipledropdownfield is not supported in grid
