Hi Quintijn!

You could still use this approach from this thread, but honestly I think the simpler way to accomplish getting table records into a single/multi-select is to use a “unique values” aggregation and then use that aggregation as the data source in your single/multi-select.

Let me know if this helps, or if you prefer the connector option, we can debug that further.
