# allowsPickingMultipleItems

A Boolean value specifying the default selection behavior for a media item picker.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsPickingMultipleItems: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When set to true, the media item picker allows the selection of multiple media items. When set to false, the media picker only allows the selection of a single media item. The label for the button that dismisses the picker is “Done” when this value is true and “Cancel” when it’s false.
