Short demonstration of the Page Fieldtype when combined with the new multi-select Page Inputfield. Compared to other multiple-select field types (like select multiple, checkboxes, or an asmSelect), this Inputfield is ideal when your select options are in the hundreds or thousands (or more), aren't necessarily restricted to a type (parent or template), or require page hierarchy and/or pagination.
This Inputfield is similar in concept to our asmSelect jQuery plugin, except that this particular Inputfield can obviously scale much further. While the video shows this Inputfield running without any constraints as to what type of page can be selected, you can certainly define these constraints in ProcessWire on the field configuration screen.
