If you manually create an instance of db:range-element-index instead of using the constructor function, where in the localname element you have a space-separated list of the localnames you can do it. (If they have separate namespace URIs too, you need to separate them). You should make sure you have something schema-valid per database.xsd.

Using ML 8 I’m setting up a script to configure a large number of range indexes. If I do it manually via the UI I can create a single range index configuration that lists multiple tag names. However, this doesn’t appear to be possible with the admin API using admin:database-add-range-element-index(). I’m passing multiple range index definitions to a single call of admin:database-add-range-element-index() but the result in the UI is still one range index configuration per element name: declare function local:configure-range-element-indexes( $config as element(), $db-id as xs:integer, $datatype as xs:string, $namespace as xs:string?, $tagnames as xs:string* ) as element() { let $indexes as element()* := for $tagname in $tagnames return admin:database-range-element-index( $datatype, $namespace, $tagname, "http://marklogic.com/collation/";, false(), "reject") let $new-config := admin:database-add-range-element-index( $config, $db-id, $indexes) return $new-config }; Some of these tag name lists are quite long, reflecting logical groupings of element types, so it would be nice to have them grouped under single definitions in the UI for the benefit of people inspecting the configuration. Is what I want to do possible?
