Take a look at the Multi Dropdown List extension.

EDIT - Beaten to the punch 😉
Hiya musa,
There’s nothing built in to ExpressionEngine that will allow this but there are a few ways around this. The first being the :
Multi Drop Down List extension.
This will allow you to do what you need.
Other methods would depend on what you are storing in the drop down list as you could probably use a weblog to store the items and then use one of the multi-relationship type extensions to do the same sort of thing. Again these multi-relationship fields aren’t out of the box with ExpressionEngine but 3rd party workings.
Hope that helps a bit though.
Best wishes,
Mark

We could always go slower next time 😉
Hope everything goes well for you.
