metadatacard lookup field

Former Member

Hi, when a document is added to M-Files, the meta data card pops up.
When selecting a value from a property list (like contacts), a new empty property box  will be added to the card right underneath the previous filled value.
Can I disable this default behaviour through metadatacard configuration? In some cases, only one value is required.

    I understand, but in the past you had to add a 2nd/3rd/etc line for the property manually by clicking the '+' sign, or by entering 'Ctrl+i'
    So, in the rare case a multi value was required, the user could add it.
    I'd like to bring this behaviour back since most of the times, only one value is required and it will save a click/tab per property. Some users really don't want extra clicks :)

    I recall this was possible for multiline text properties where you can override with a parameter so the propertyfield appears as a single line text field on the meta data card.
    so, how do I override the default adding of lines without changing the property value type (since we still do require the type).
