I am trying to add a multi-select menu to my HDA, similar to the Group Name parameter of the Group node.
But I found that the Group node's menu is prompted with a checkmark, how do I implement this?

Thanks for your reply, that's the method I'm using, but I want the selected item to have a tick mark to indicate it is selected like the Group node, is there any way to do that?

You could use an import block to bring in the Group node and then set what you don't want to Invisible. https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/76409 [www.sidefx.com]

From what I know the checkmark only shows for single selection options, not the multi selection ones. So try using Replace ( Field + Single Selection Menu) option.

Thank you for your answer, but instead of referencing the Group node's parameter in my HDA panel, I want to create a String parameter and have a similar menu with the "√" symbol.

I tried it, and neither seemed to have the same effect.
