Strapi: Custom Fields not showing after installing plugin

Question

i discovered a problem with custom fields. I installed the multi select plugin (https://www.npmjs.com/package/strapi-plugin-multi-select) and its showing up in the admin dashboard via general -> plugins.

In the content type builder when i want to create a new field and i click on "custom" the multi select field is not showing up for selection. I tried it with different other custom field plugins and none is working.

I sadly don't get any error, maybe someone here experienced the same issue 🙂

my dependencies looks like this:

"dependencies": {
    "@strapi/plugin-graphql": "4.5.0",
    "@strapi/plugin-i18n": "4.5.0",
    "@strapi/plugin-users-permissions": "4.5.0",
    "@strapi/strapi": "4.5.0",
    "better-sqlite3": "7.4.6",
    "dayjs": "^1.11.6",
    "deep-rename-keys": "^0.2.1",
    "deep-rename-keys-ts": "^1.0.1",
    "geographiclib": "^1.52.2",
    "geographiclib-geodesic": "^2.0.0",
    "graphql-type-json": "^0.3.2",
    "nexus": "^1.3.0",
    "pg": "^8.8.0",
    "strapi-plugin-country-select": "^1.0.0",
    "strapi-plugin-multi-select": "^1.1.0",
    "strapi-utils": "^3.6.11"
  }

Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to rebuild your strapi after plugin installation. This is the same for all plugins in Strapi CMS please go to your strapi folder and run

yarn build then yarn develop
