Multi Value Field

See Multivalue field in Magnolia documentation.

MultiValueFieldDefinition renders multiple fields that allow the user to perform multi-selection. The multi value field is used to select targets inside Magnolia, for example categories for a page.

Here's an example configuration to select multiple categories browsing the categories workspace.
