[Feature Request] Defaults for multi-select list

[rthill91]

I'd really like to be able to have default selections for a multi-select list. I would envision this as either an extension of the existing default key where I could pass a list of selections, or as an option in the choices like

"choices": [
  {"name" "Foo", "value": "foo", "selected": True},
  {"name" "Bar", "value": "bar", "selected": True},
]

Apologies if this is already possible and I just missed it.

Hi @rthill91,

You are right, the behaviour you are describing is not present in the current version.

I'll work on this behaviour, it should be a very easy twist.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi @rthill91,

The new release v0.2.0 has the behaviour implemented. It requires multiselect=True and the key name is enabled, the reason is to keep it consistent with the checkbox prompt.

"choices": [
  {"name" "Foo", "value": "foo", "enabled": True},
  {"name" "Bar", "value": "bar", "enabled": True},
]

I'll close the issue for now. If you encounter any issues while using it, feel free to reopen it.

Thanks,
Kevin
