Selecting multiple options from a pre-defined list

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

In a previous version of RESTool we could use a “select” input field to select multiple options from a pre-defined list, and it would populate an array like this:

{
// ... other properties,
  "Applicability": [
    "AppliesToReports",
    "AppliesToLocationNotes"
  ]
}

multi-select

But now that I’ve just updated to the most recent version, I can’t see any way to select multiple options (either with a select or any other way) and maintain the same data structure that gets POSTed. I’d rather not resort to a long list of checkboxes and a new data structure if I can avoid it. How can I achieve the previous functionality with the latest version of RESTool?

Here’s the best I can get with the latest version. It only allows a single selection:

multi-select-2

I have just started using RESTool, but this functionality to allow for a multi-select optionSource is really important for my app. Is this in the works, or what version could I use for this functionality please?
