I have an xpage with a listbox that is populated by @DBColumn statement, I have Allow Multiple Selections checked. The only way i have been able to select multiple names is by holding the ctrl key. Once I have multiple names selected I submit my form, however only the first name is being passed and I can’t find any documentation on how this is supposed to work. Any advice would be appreciated.

The problem is not in your listbox control – it’s in what you’re doing with the selections. But you didn’t say anything about this or show any code, so it’s not possible to identify what you’re doing wrong.

Sorry about that here is my code that populates the listbox, its what I have as computed in the values tab of the xpages listbox. Juust grabbing all the names in the column of the view.
var dept = @Unique(@DbColumn(@DbName(),“viewPersonProfile”,1));
dept;

When trying to get the values of the listBox I was using the first line of code below. However this was only returning the first value of my multiple selections. Instead I used the second line of code below and was able to get all the values selected.
Returns only single value: document.getItemValueString(“FieldName”)
Returns Multiple values that were selected:
getComponent(“idName”).getValue()
