2. Use in the Admin Panel

After installation, the "Multiselect" field will appear in the Custom Fields section of the Content-Type Builder.

Adding Options

To define available options:

• Enter each option on a separate line in the Available Options field.

Custom Delimiter

You can specify a custom delimiter for storing the selected values in the database.

• For example, using the default delimiter , the API response will look like:
  Option-1,Option-2,Option-3.

Note: The selected values are stored as a plain string, so you can filter entries by any selected option when viewing data in the list view in the admin panel.
