There are many times when I would like to use a Board view to add and remove values for a multi-select field for entities by dragging and dropping. Currently it’s impossible because drag-n-drop on board view only only assigns a single selection, and if you move from one column or row to another, the original selection is _replaced_, even if I want to simply add a second or third selection. It seems board view was only built for single-select field types?

Perhaps some convention like holding down the Ctrl+ key could enable drag and drop to add additional multi-select entries rather than replacing? This would add a lot of value for me.

Thanks for considering.
