I have a CCK content type set up for an artist group website which describes an artwork. An artwork can be attributed to multiple artists. Artist is another CCK content type (node). I used Multiselect to try to create a many-to-one relationship between Artists (displayed as links to the Artist node) and Artworks. Everything looks fine when I try to create an artwork: a view enumerates all the Artist nodes and they populate the Multiselect widget. And I can select multiple Artist nodes just fine. But when I save the Artwork, just one Artist node reference is saved (the last one in the list). What is going on? Did I misconstrue the purpose of the module?

The only thing I can think of is that you might need to take a second look at your nodereference field configuration. You might have accidentally set it to where "Number of values" is "1". Sounds like you probably want to use "Unlimited".

In the latest version of the module (6.x-1.2), I've added code that ensures that "Unlimited" is the default selection on the CCK form.

Thank you, that resolved my issue! I forgot to make the number of selections unlimited. I'm glad you are changing the default behavior.
