Yes, this is a new feature -- auto-registration of an InArray validator that uses the keys of the multiOptions registered with the element. You can disable this with one of the following: // using the element instance: $element->setRegisterInArrayValidator(false); // or a configuration key: 'registerInArrayValidator' => false element.options.registerInArrayValidator = false > Secondly, and more importantly, the select element is using a > multi-dimensional > which automatically creates OPTGROUP tags as headers within the selection.

This is a much more difficult validation to achieve, and we can hopefully address it for a coming release. In the meantime, simply don't register the validator, using the instructions above. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Software Architect | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
