Select multiple images

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Hi there, no matter how I configure the CMS, I am not able to select multiple images in the images widget. As you can see in my config I have tried allow_multiple as well as passing a config to the media library (which is only necessary if I use a third party media library?)

To Reproduce

create a new post
select media
media browser opens
i click the first media and it’s selected
i click the second media, it’s selected and the first is deselected

Expected behavior I expected to be able to select multiple images or some kind of button to enable this.

Applicable Versions:

Netlify CMS version: 2.10.20
Git provider: Github
OS: Mac
Browser version Chrome 80
Node.JS version: 13.6.0

Just because it took me way to long to figure this out: While a bit tedious you can add multiple images to a file/entity by using a list-widget. Maybe it helps someone 😄

To get multiple image support you’ll need to use an external media library like https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/cloudinary/

We might need to re-phrase:

As it doesn’t make it very clear.
