How to create navigation root multiple

[stefanjank]

I want to create so user can choose more then one root for navigation here

I'm trying with multifield but doesn't work at all

@stefanjank I created a similar custom component and able to read the navigation root and the exclude root level as well within the sling model for the same.

Can you provide the error which you are facing which including the same in multifield.

Thanks
