Hi:)  
I am trying to add a Parameter control that will have the option to select multiple values.  
I was able to set up the parameter and connect its optional values it to a certain field in my dataset.  
Then I added to control to the top of my report.  
But when i try to set it as a multiselection dropdown i can’t see this option in the list in the Control Options List.  
Please assist.  
Thank you  
Tal

hi @tal

The single vs multi select option needs to be selected at the time of creating the parameter and can’t be changed. Please create a new parameter and select multi select.
