Repopulating multiple values in drop down box

[vinay.cp]

Hello All,

I have a drop down box in my application which has allow-multiple="true". After submitting the form, the value gets stored in the database in the form of comma separated values like {MO,TU,WE}. I have to repopulate the form from the database when the edit button is clicked. The drop down box does not get repopulated if multiple values were previously selected but it gets repopulated if a single value was previously selected from the drop down box. Could you please let me know if there is any way I could repopulate the drop down box with multiple values selected?

Thanks.

You could try to use smselect jquery plugin
There is an example at https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/example/control/FormWidgetExamples (Multiple drop-downs)
And a real use at https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/LinkGeos
