I see in the Integration API docs that this is possible, but I see no explanation of how to do it.

I tried many random things with my schema but the resulting field type is always “Text” in Fibery. 🤷‍♂️

I can manually force a field to be a Single- or Multi-Select (see image) when setting-up a new Integration Space DB’s and fields, but I cannot figure out how to make it the default type for a field in the Integration schema.

We’re working on better documentation.

Regarding your Q.

Single-select:

```auto
type: 'text',
subType: 'single-select'

```

Multi-select:

```auto
type: 'array[text]',
subType: 'multi-select',

```

Workflow:

```auto
type: 'text',
subType: 'workflow`

```

Optionally you can pass list of `options`. If options property is missing then Fibery will try to identify options dynamically based on your data.

Options format:

```auto
[
  {
     name: 'Open', 
     color: '#123414', // OPTIONAL
     default: true/false, // Workflow should have record with default flag
     final: true/false // workflow final step
   }
]

```

Best Regards,

Edited. There was a mistake with multi-select. Changed type from `text` to `array[text]`

Sample:

```auto
{
  state: {
      name: `State`,
      type: `text`,
      subType: `workflow`,
      options: [
          {
              name: `New`,
              default: true,
          },
          {name: `In Work`},
          {
              name: `Closed`,
              final: true,
          },
      ],
  },
}

```

also it’s possible to pass multi-select with type `text` but in this case options should be comma-separated (e.g. `dev,high prio,r22`)
