even though we read the documentation and knew that Multi-Select only
supports Strings, we tried to build a form with numbers ("decimal") as
values in Multi-Selection fields.
Example Code:
Defoliation
Select a value
1
1
2
2
The problems that occur are that the values are stored correctly as
numbers when we select only one field and submit the form to our ODK
Aggregate 1.0. So they are wrongly being handled as single select
fields.
But when we select more than one field the submission fails with an
"500 Internal Server Error".
A look at the PostgrSQL database and tables showed Aggregate didn't
create a table for the Multi-Select field.
Maybe it would be better to warn users when they upload a form with
"decimal" Multi-Select fields to ODK Aggregate webpage.
Because of the successful upload of the form to Aggregate and download
to Collect, we thought the values would only be converted to Strings,
but stay usable.
Has anybody else experienced this problem and could present his "work
around" to fill Multi-Selects with numbers?
Regards.

You need a <bind type="select" .../> to use a multi-select field.

Do you know whether there will be a real numeric multi-select in
future versions?

it's unlikely there will be a typed multi-select in the future, but
feel free to file a feature request and we'll forward it on to the
javarosa community.
