Client: Have fields that allow multiple selections from a controlled vocabulary
The University of Pittsburgh would like additional data types for custom fields, especially the ability to select multiple options from a controlled vocabulary in fields (custom or default) on the Aeon client side. There is an existing ticket in UserVoice specifically about the research topics field. Pittsburgh would be interested in being able to have multi-select fields in the activity record in order to record necessary stats for activities that fall into multiple categories.

Purdue University would also like this feature. They would like for the researcher to be able to select multiple collection areas of interest during registration. On the web registration form, the controlled vocabulary options are presented in a multi-select checkbox list. If staff need to modify anything on the staff side, though, they cannot select multiple options from a controlled vocabulary list.
