 +====== Displaying the Lookup Item Manager ======
 +
 +If you want to attach a number of items in one go, or would prefer the more comprehensive attachment feature of the [[pergamonmu:​general:​index_items|Lookup Item Manager]], select the [Dialog] button immediately after the text field. This button displays the Lookup Manager dialog directly, displaying all lookup items already attached to the multi-select control.
 +
 +Select, remove or create any lookup items required then save the results. The new results are re-displayed in the multi-select control.
 +
 +
 +====== Qualifiers and Primary Attribution ======
 +
 +{{ :​pergamonmu:​general:​general-multi-select-qual.png?​direct&​200|}}If the multi-select control is being used to display lookup-items with Qualifiers or which support Primary Attribution,​ such as a Contributors field, both of these can be set directly within the multi-select control rather than going into the [[pergamonmu:​general:​index_items|Lookup Manager]].
 +
 +Right click an individual item attached to the multi-select control to display a context-sensitive menu containing the Primary Attribution option as well as the Qualifiers available for that type. Selecting the option off this menu will modify the attached entry directly.
