I have shared the tutorial to create product attribute in Magento 2<\/a> earlier. However, developers may need to create multi-select product attributes in Magento 2 development tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing multi select product attributes may be required a number of times. For example, you want to develop an extension to allow the selection of more than one customer groups, locations, or select multiple options to apply a rule on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no limit when it comes to how you use this solution as per your business or client requirements. Like we use to Magento 2 week days list<\/a> system configuration for the admin to select the days of the week to book appointment or offer delivery, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programmatic method to do so makes the task easier and quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method to Programmatically Create Multi Select Product Attribute in Magento 2:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Create InstallData.php<\/strong> file at Vendor\\Extension\\Setup\\ <\/strong><\/em>folder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?php\n\nnamespace Vendor\\Extension\\Setup;\n\nuse Magento\\Eav\\Setup\\EavSetupFactory;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\Setup\\InstallDataInterface;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\Setup\\ModuleContextInterface;\nuse Magento\\Framework\\Setup\\ModuleDataSetupInterface;\n\nclass InstallData implements InstallDataInterface\n{\n    private $eavSetupFactory;\n\n    public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory)\n    {\n        $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;\n    }\n\n    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)\n    {\n        $setup->startSetup();\n        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);\n\n        \n\n        $eavSetup->addAttribute(\n            \\Magento\\Catalog\\Model\\Product::ENTITY,\n            'eway_option',\n            [\n                'group' => 'Groupe Name',\n                'label' => 'Multiselect Attribute',\n                'type'  => 'text',\n                'input' => 'multiselect',\n                'source' => 'Vendor\\Extension\\Model\\Config\\Product\\Extensionoption',\n                'required' => false,\n                'sort_order' => 30,\n                'global' => \\Magento\\Catalog\\Model\\ResourceModel\\Eav\\Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,\n                'used_in_product_listing' => true,\n                'backend' => 'Magento\\Eav\\Model\\Entity\\Attribute\\Backend\\ArrayBackend',\n                'visible_on_front' => false\n            ]\n        );\n\n        \n        $setup->endSetup();\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
2. Create Extensionoption.php<\/strong> file at Vendor\\Extension\\Model\\Config\\Product<\/strong><\/em> folder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n\nnamespace Vendor\\Extension\\Model\\Config\\Product;\n\nuse Magento\\Eav\\Model\\Entity\\Attribute\\Source\\AbstractSource;\n\n\nclass Extensionoption extends AbstractSource\n{\n    protected $optionFactory;\n    public function getAllOptions()\n    {\n        $this->_options = [];\n        $this->_options[] = ['label' => 'Label 1', 'value' => 'value 1'];\n        $this->_options[] = ['label' => 'Label 2', 'value' => 'value 2'];\n    \n        return $this->_options;\n    }\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
With the above code you can create multi select product attributes as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n
