We have a Film Festival and need to add multiple categories to the type of film we are showing. IE SHORT, DRAMA, COMEDY - so that all categories will be searchable when finding a film to which different categories apply.
For instance someone looking for a ‘short’ may not be looking for a ‘drama’ but would prefer a ‘comedy’ before clicking to learn more,
Thank you for your help!
Thank you!
Hi there @Sharon_Cooper 
Thanks for sharing your use case with us!
Do I understand right that you just want to have a search option for the Event Type category?
Hi Max,
We want to be able to select more than one Event type per film (and would like the name Event changed to Film if possible - did ask Sonia abut this earliertoday) .
At the moment if you Select Drama you cannot select Short or Comedy with Drama - when I mixed them with /s between - the dropdown didn’t recognize the single words in the group I added and only forund one film - instead of recognizing that Drama was in the mix of: Drama / Short / War.
Can you help? Thank you for reaching out!
Thank you!
Sharon
Got you!
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to choose multiple options within one filter at once. I am really sorry!
We agree that it would be a nice enhancement, and I’ve added your idea to the Wishlist. If more users support this request, we’ll try to consider this opportunity in the future 
As for changing the filter name, you can do this in the Edit Texts section on the Settings tab:
Thank you for trying Max - had already added it to the wishlist!
Will follow your guide to change the name….
When you create a filter for a dropdown box it would be great to be able to select mulitple items.
Hi there, @Courtney_Besgrove 
I completely agree that this option would be of a great help, and this request already exists on the Wishlist. I’ve moved your comment to the related thread, where we’ll keep you in the loop 
Many thanks for the feedback and yes, welcome to the Community!
Hi, I want my events to show when filtered by multiple Event Type. How can I associate more than one event type (or another filter like ‘Host’) to one event. For example my one session is effective for learners from more than one field.
Hi there, @user10588 and welcome aboard 
Currently, it’s impossible to do this, unfortunately. However, this idea is already on the Wishlist, and I’ve merged your comment with it.
If this idea gains more votes, we’ll try to think it over in the future updates
Friends, we’re happy to share that now you can choose multiple options for one filter
