Hi!

I have an app using your content picker, and we have some clients asking to be able to select all or shift click to select all elements between clicks in the content picker. My understanding is that this functionality is in the main box app, but not the content picker. Is there a config variable I can set to turn this on, or is that functionality a possibility in the future?

Thanks!

    Hey ,

     

    The ability to select-click to multi select exists currently in the Box Content Picker seen here

     

    You will need to replace the access token you can generate from the developer console and a folder id you want to test out in the code snippet above. 

     

    Let us know if this works/referring to!

    I may have mistaken what you meant with this question and I apologize! To clarify:

     

    • Currently, users have the ability to hold down shift and select multiple items.
    • If you wish to hold down shift and select the first item and last item to get all items I would file a request here

    Thank you!

    We have it on our backlog, but no ETA on when it will be available.
