Selection widgets display a list of text values among which the user needs to select one (single selection) or more (multiselection). The values displayed by these widgets can be changed and may come from different data sources:
Fixed Values: A user defined list of fixed values.
Data Master Field: A list of category values coming from a Data Master field of type Category or Multicategory.
Data Master: A list of all the Data Master instances using comas as a field separator.
