Hi friends! I want to use st.column_config.MultiselectionColumn, but Streamlit currently only provides st.column_config.CheckboxColumn and st.column_config.SelectboxColumn. Does anyone know a workaround or how I could implement a similar feature?

I don’t know of a way to do it with a dataframe. You could always combine row selections and an external multiselect to accomplish the task. Otherwise, it’d need a custom component.

### Checklist
- [X] I have searched the [existing issues](https://github.com/st… reamlit/streamlit/issues) for similar feature requests.
- [X] I added a descriptive title and summary to this issue.
### Summary
Column configurations (st.column_config) for st.data_editor only has a configuration for a select box (like st.selectbox) where the user can select one choice from the options. We have a use-case where it would be helpful in st.data_editor for the user to be able to select multiple choices from the options like st.multiselect.
### Why?
This is a data entry/editing interface where the user can select multiple "tags" for a single row of data.
### How?
Logical syntax would be st.column_config.MultiSelect, and return a Python list in the st.data_editor multi-select column.
### Additional Context

### Problem
I absolutely love the new data_editor component. However, as the … docs state, the column type ListColumn is currently implemented as read only in the streamlit data_editor component. It would be very helpful to make this column editable as well. This is probably already planned, but I wasn't able to find it on the road map.
### Solution
**MVP:** Add multiselect input to the ListColumn
