This note is correct, but I wonder if doing this would be a good practice. Since the default for "multiselect" is false, normally the absence of it would imply that it is false. But if users follow the suggestion in this note, they'll have a manifest where "multiselect" is not present but is true. I think this would be misleading and potentially confusing to a developer who is looking at the manifest to troubleshoot some problem. If I'd known what the product team was planning with this property, I'd have argued against this design. But I guess that ship has sailed, so I'd recommend that we just not tell people about this implicit setting of "multiselect" to true. If they always explicitly include it and set it to true when it should be, then their manifest is self-documenting.

That's a great point. Thanks for bringing it up. I removed this note.
