Description - It would be nice, if this field type would also provide the possibility to select more than one entry.

Why is this feature important to you - to have a "dynamic" dropdown field, which does support all features of static dropdown fields

How would you like the feature to work - similar to Multi-Select Dropdown

Current Behaviour - only one selection possible

    I'm thrilled to let you know that this functionality is now available, and you can make the External Lookup field accept multiple values:

    hi

    could you pls share documentation on how to use External lookups?

    If I want to configure a drop down for all sub groups under a particular group (which I am fetching in another field), i want to link these 2 fields using External lookups.

    1. what API should I use for groups/ group types.

    2. what should be the JSON path.

    Hopefully a document could help me with this.

    Documentation can be found here. 

    Additionally, this post includes quite good information on how to configure such fields.

    @gagiksukiasyan both of those links point to the same page. Are you able to update your post to include the second link?
