Hey all,

to answer my own question:
I hadd to create the config like this:
            "config" => Array (
                "type" => "select",   
                "items" => Array ( ),
                "itemsProcFunc" => 'user_GetConstItems',
                "constType" => 16,
                "size" => 10,
                "minitems" => 0,
                "maxitems" => 15,
            )

Appart from changed values,
you HAVE to add "items" => Array ( ),
Otherwise setting maxitems to any value above 1 doesn't work
