Multi-Select Dropdown Field in Trello
Note: Multi-select dropdowns is available to supporters only. If you are on the free plan, you will need to upgrade before enabling this setting.
Amazing Fields lets you create dropdown fields that allow users to select more than one option per card. This is useful for things like tagging, categorising work by multiple dimensions, or tracking status across multiple criteria.
See multi-select dropdown fields in action: Create a board from the Amazing Fields Feature Template.
Setting up a Multi-Select dropdown
- Open Amazing Fields Settings by clicking the Amazing Fields icon in the top-right corner of the board.
- Click the "+ Add" button
- Choose "Dropdown" under "Basic Fields."
- Go to the "Advanced section" and enable the option to "Allow selecting multiple items."
- From here, you can add your options and label each option.
- Repeat until all options are added. Drag to reorder them if needed.
- To customise your options, you can:
- Click the color swatch and select a color from the palette.
- Click the Emoji field and select an emoji from the picker.
Once multi-select is enabled, you can choose how the selected values appear on the Trello card:
- Single badge: all selected values appear in one badge, separated by commas
- Multiple badges: each selected value appears as its own individual badge
