</div>

create a custom property of type array named “multiselectData”  
create an OnItemClick event on the tree which adds this script

```auto
event['itemPath'] = '/'.join(map(str,event['itemPath'])) 
for index, item in enumerate(self.custom.multiselectData): 
  if item.itemPath == event.itemPath: 
    del self.custom.multiselectData[index]
    break 
  else: 
    self.custom.multiselectData.append(event) 
self.props.selection = [x.itemPath for x in self.custom.multiselectData] 
self.props.selectionData = self.custom.multiselectData 

```

it causes some flikker on the selection style but its the best i can think of xd

Thanks for your reply…I just now found the solution and came to inform here…by giving the item’s label value to data value under items prop, the selectionData prop’s value is taking value from data(item’s prop) on its own

hehe i guess that is better, i also thought multiselect wasnt possible on the tree guess i should have tested that first lol

best to use prepUpdate to insert into a db
