Multiple Selection in DHIS2 Dropdown: DHIS2 2.40.5

Colleagues,

Is it possible to select multiple options from a single dropdown in DHIS2? This would reduce the need for multiple data elements. If this functionality exists, please share instructions. If not, is this a feature worth considering for future development?

Yes, you can create a data element with type (Text with Multiple Values):

The Allergies (multi-select) is a good example in Login app | DHIS2 .
