How to enable custom field for multi select taxonomy terms

Created on 27 May 2025, 11 days ago

Problem/Motivation

Hello! I tried to create a custom field with Entity Reference to taxonomy terms. I was only able to select 1 tag for the field (entity reference to tags). I looked on the UI but was unable to see how I can make the custom field into multi-select for the taxonomy terms. I've attached some screen captures. I'm using Drupal 11 with Custom Field 3.1.7. Thank you for any help/suggestions!

    Subfield values are always limited to single value therefore there it is not possible to select multiple terms. You can have a multi-valued custom field of course but again each subfield within it can only be single as the values are stored in a single table row in the database. If you absolutely need multi-valued terms selection, then you may want to split this out into a separate normal entity reference field.

  • each subfield within it can only be single as the values are stored in a single table row in the database

    That makes sense. I'll explore re-design options. Thank you very much for your response!
