Selecting the "Maximum Number of Values" does not work when using the MultiSelect widget. Specifically, if you set the number of values, then return to the field settings page, it will still say "Unlimited". This is true of RC1 and 1.x-dev.

Additionally, there is a typo in the interface when a user selects more than the maximum (using standard select list)--it reads "Focus: this field cannot hold more that 3 values.".

I should elaborate...not only does the "maximum values" appear not to save (this is by appearance only, because after switching from MultiSelect to Select the previously set maximum values now shows up) but you are also not limited to the number set.

Hi!
The small typo is caused by cck's optionwidgets module...
Concerning the Number of values settings, it definitely works for select boxes, e.g. try so select "2" as Number of values and then go to your node form and try to select 3 terms... Or do I misunderstand your problem?
Concerning the Multiselect, I haven't tried it for a longer time, but if you are having problems with it, better ask in the multiselcet issue queue

Thanks for the response mh86--

It is indeed a multiselect issue, not a ctx issue as I originally thought. I've marked as a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/588696
