Mutiple items election from Pop-Up Menu in Numbers?

I have a Number sheet that is being used for tracking website issues. I would like to to give etc team a "pop-up menu" that allows them to select modules on the website that involve the issue being entered. Some issues will involved multiple modules. Is there a way to enable selecting multiple items from pop-up menus?


Here's an example in excel using vba: https://trumpexcel.com/select-multiple-items-drop-down-list-excel/

No, not easy, even with AppleScript. Have you considered using a separate table with some checklist items in it?



If you need the solution to be compact you could consider using Pop-Up menu with menu items with the various possibilities preassembled, something like this:


One only

Two only

Three only

One, Two, Three, Four


etc.

Hi Patrick,


"Seems like a feature that would be worth implementing. Useful for entry and analysis IMO."


"Well worth implementing" suggestions should be sent to Apple via the Feedback channel(s).


In Numbers, you'll find a portal to that channel—Provide Numbers Feedback— in the Numbers menu.


Choose the menu item and make a Feature Enhancement request.


Some light reading before posting the request: Legal - Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy - Apple


Regards,

Barry
