Multiselect Tag Value

[etaha]

Hi,
Would it be possible to add tag value with multi-select options. Same as Checklist tag value type but the value should be the selected options not only (Incomplete/Complete).
E.g.
Environments
options: Env1, Env2, Env3

User could select 1 or more environments in this tag value.

Thanks in Advance.

Do you mean the enum type?

Enum has limitation that only single value can be selected.
Is there a way to allow user to select multiple values in Enum tag value type?

There are some cases where this is required, for example:
Test Environment
Options: Development, Testing, Staging, Production
User may select one or more environments in this tag value.
If user selects "Development" and "Testing", I need EA to show in tag value "Development, Testing"
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,

I would use the Tagged Value Type CheckList.

Hi,

E.g.
Environments
options: Env1, Env2, Env3

As an alternate
If these environments are created as an object in EA then you can use refguidlist type from the predefined types.

Code: [Select]

Type=RefGUID;
Values=Type1,Type2; [b]//Type of environment object[/b]
Stereotypes=Stereotype1;//stereotype of environment object

Thanks all for your replies.

The checklist option is somehow near to what I'm looking for, however when user selects Env1, Env2 for example, EA shows the value of the tag as "Incomplete" and if all values are checked it displays "Complete".
What I need is when user selects subset of allowed values, EA has to display this subset as comma separated (Env1, Env2) instead of "Incomplete". Is there a workaround to do this?
 Thanks

I think EA has the actual selected values stored, it just doesn't display them like you would like to.

The workaround I can think of is to create an enum with all possible combinations.
Doable if there aren't too many options, but starts getting hard real soon as the amount of options go up.

Great idea! Thanks a lot Geert.
Thanks all for your support.

It works good but by using shortcuts for the values (STG instead of Staging etc...) and that's fine.
