multiple usage of picklists

We want have the same picklist two times or even more often for one entry in MultiTerm. If I have already chosen a value of the picklist, it is not possible to add the same picklist once again. We would need the multiple usage of picklists for the different assembly groups with different figure numbers of the parts. If we choose two assembly groups and two figure numbers in one picklist, it is not clear which figure number belongs to which assembly group.

Hi all,

Not sure Alexandra is referring to this: you have a picklist field (with multiple values) and you want to use it multiple times. Even if the field ist defined as "multiple", you can use a picklist field only once within the node.

This feature might be useful in cases where you have other fields depending on the picklist field (in a nested structure). So you could have a term with picklist value A and comment A and for the same term a second picklist value B with comment B.

Regards,

Bruno

Can't you do this already by using the "Multiple" checkbox on the field under the termbase definition?
