Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have attributes that are designated with multiple labels. It would be nice to have a combo box that allows for the representation of these elements, enabling me to make multiple selections efficiently

Describe alternatives you've considered

Converting the attributes into a list with binary checkboxes could result in a cluttered interface, potentially impacting user experience due to the overwhelming number of options displayed.
The current attributes board lacks a grouping feature, which leads to a disorganized presentation that may hinder efficient attribute selection and management.

@qianyizhang , could you please describe a specific example? I don't remember that anybody has requested the feature. Please describe your data annotation task and how you annotate data at the moment.

Hi, I am labeling lesions in medical images and there are many diagnostic attributes that can be grouped together, for instance:

Regarding the edge: is_round, is_smooth, is_thick, has_spikes
Regarding texture: homogenous, scattered
Regarding the relation to other anatomy: close_to_xxx, multiple_occurrences

The list can be long, and currently, I am using radio buttons for sub-attributes, which makes the interface overwhelmingly cluttered. The best practice is to have a multi-select combo box, which allows the annotator to focus on one category of attributes at a time.

@nmanovic any updates?

@nmanovic I am also interested in same feature. I am working on multi label classification with object detection task. It would be helpful if this feature is present. Multiple selection from list of values for an attribute would solve this.
