I always get above error message althogh the respective field is not set to allowed values see screen shot

when I tick the option for 'Allow users to enter their own values' the error message no longer appears although that's exactly the thing this error message was about in the first place and a setting I do not want to be forced to choose

The backing field for a picklist must be a single value. Thus you either have to allow custom values (and end up with Option1;Option2 as the saved value) OR not save more than one value (and end up with Option1 as the saved value.) The only alternative is to use a regular text field (and end up with "Option1;Option2" as the saved value)

This control cannot change the underlying schema/data storage which doesn't support multiple saved independent values.

Use contains searches to filter/search downstream as needed.
