If you think that the standart <select multiple> input not user friendly https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/select then better complain about it to WHATWG ?

A tip: if you want to have a fancy select, use layout layout="joomla.form.field.list-fancy-select" for your List field.

I am closing it, as not an issue.

Thanks,
On the options tab there are 2 layout options - one for form, the other for display.
The form one has an 'enhanced select' option - does what I want, I had not spotted it there.
