**Describe the solution you’d like**  
A multi-select list. This is sooo fundamental that even Slack has it (poorly) implemented 😉

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
A super ugly user experience like a text area with all of the list options in CSV  
format which the user may edit.

**Additional context**  
Nope.  
Thank you.
