Hi there,

Referencing to this :

> Hi, I’m new to OOD so forgive me if this is a simple fix… I’m editing a form which creates a JupyterHub instance on our cluster to allow a user to select additional modules they would like to load into their environment. I am trying to do this using a multiple select box. I can get the multiple select box to show on the form and it does indeed allow multiple selections but when I launch the instance the data does not seem to pass through. I have the following attribute in my form.yml.erb: …

I tried to activate multi-selection for the partition (auto\_queues) field on the intercative session, but there was an error, is this possible?

Example:

```yaml
  auto_queues:
    html_options:
      multiple: "true"
      size: 5

```

We do not support mutli-selection. What’s more is that `auto_queues` would likely break even if you could just because it was written to expect only 1 field and wouldn’t separate multiple fields with commas or however sbatch expects it.
