Can't create combo box in iLogic form

I seem to be having an issue creating a combo box dropdown in an iLogic form.

In the example seen below, my parameters "Machine Size" and "Line" are both multi-value lists within 'Parameters', but I can't change their "Edit Control Type" to 'Combo Box' from 'Text Box'. The only options I have are 'Text Box' and 'Slider'.

What am I doing wrong?

So all I had to do was remove the parameter and plug it back in, and the combo box was automatically created. I beat my head against the wall searching for why this wouldn't work, and it was that simple.

Try deleting the parameter from the form and then putting it back in.  If you put a parameter into the form before you turned it into a multi-value list the form won't update to turn it into a combo box.

 

EDIT:  You beat me to it.  Nice.

I have found that you have to have the "allow custom value" in the Make Mulit-Value option. You don't have to actually add anything to the list, you just need the box checked (parameters).  Then delete it from your form list and re-add it.
