You want to store multiple values in a field of that custom field type. Therefore, you set the AllowMultipleValues property to True. However, after you set the AllowMultipleValues property to True, the field type is displayed as Lookup instead of the custom field type." Hope that helps.

My field type is deployed via a WSP, so the feature receiver looked like a good route. However, I'm not assigning the type to any site columns - I'm simply trying to create a new user-creatable type which they can assign to a column in any list, just like a standard lookup column. In the receiver, since there is no actual field yet, I am looking at the SPFieldTypeDefinition and the FieldInfo but neither of these contain any schema info. When the user actually creates a column of my type, I intercept the OnAdded, but at that point the schemaXml contains only this: ... no mention of LookupMulti. Any ideas? Thanks for your help, Stuart. Thanks for the reply Chris. My field type is deployed via a WSP, so the feature receiver looked like a good route.
