Selecting Multiple Values in a custom Attribute
Is there a type that can be assigned to a custom attribute or is there any way in RTC to create a custom attribute that allows you to pre-define selectable values (like an enumeration), but that allows the user to select multiple values from the drop down list?
For example, if I set up a geo attribute with values of Germany, China, Japan, etc. I need the user to be able to select more than one. (ie: Germany AND China). And I then need to be able to run a query on all work items for just China, just Germany or both.

Hello! I just learned how to create a Multi-Select Custom Attribute from our IBM Rep. First select one of the string types for 'Type' when you create the Custom Attribute. Then when creating the Editor Presentation you will have 'Multi-Select List' as a 'Kind' selection. After selecting it click the '+' sign to the right of 'Properties' and add 'enumeration' as the Key and the enumeration name as the Value. It creates a window with all the enumeration values and you can select one or many.
