Multi-Lookup module
Important
The finance and operations (Dynamics 365) mobile app and platform are no longer supported. The platform components supporting the mobile app will be removed in a future update. The mobile app has also been removed from app stores. Previously installed instances of the app will continue to work. For more information, see Removed or deprecated platform features.
Multi-Lookup controls are similar to regular lookups except they allow multiple selections at once.
