Multiple health monitors to pool

Has anyone modified an iApp to include an option to add multiple health monitors to one pool? If so, can you please provide examples of how you did this?

I posted my version of this multi-monitor template at https://community.f5.com/t5/codeshare/http-template-with-multiple-monitors/ta-p/278393

Don't disable strictness. Re-code your iApp! In presentation, change your "choice" to a "multichioce", for example:

multichoice reuse_monitor_name display "xlarge" tcl { 
    tmsh::run_proc f5.app_utils:get_ltm_monitors_filter http https tcp 
}

and in implementation, change the tmsh statement to add your list of monitors, separated by the word "and". For example:

set monitor_name [list \
        [join $::server_pools__reuse_monitor_name " and "]]

I appreciate the help but i cannot seem to get this working how you stated. I am attempting to duplicate the f5 HTTP template. Below is what I am editing from the presentation section. optional ( create_new_monitor == "Use Monitor..." ) { choice reuse_monitor_name display "xlarge" tcl { package require iapp 1.0.0 return "[iapp::get_items ltm monitor http]\n[iapp::get_items ltm monitor https]" Just doing this does not change how it looks when you select the edited iApp template.

If you replace the keyword "choice" with "multichoice", do you see the change in presentation?
