I have a dropdown list on a view in perspective created with multiselect enabled. Based on the user selection I need to log the selected options to my database. How can I proceed to do this.

I'd think that selections should only be logged when the user accepts them, in which case you should use a button with a script that reads the dropdown's selected data and write it into your table
