I am using the rest api (through “fibery-unofficial”) and I am struggling to create a Multi Select. What is the proper way to do this? Thank you!

I don’t think the fibery-unofficial directly supports creating a multi-select ☹

It’s maybe not clear from the documentation, but select fields (single- and multi-selects) are basically databases, where each entity is an option, and there is a relation (many-to-one or many-to-many) from the main database to the select db.  
So to create a select field, you have to create an enum db and then create a field in your main db that is a relation to it.  
See [here](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Field-API-263/anchor=Relation-(entity-collection-Field)--a3c35d51-339b-4d06-bd70-45fc441e65ae) for some helpful info.
