Can Drop Tables have multiple instances of the same elements?

Title ID: 44B1

Dear PlayFab community,

I am exploring configuring Drop Tables. They look pretty dang sweet, but I've run into an issue that I can't seem to properly express with the Game Manager interface:

I have a handful of Drop Tables that are partitioned by Rarity (Rarity 0, Rarity 1, Rarity 2, etc.). In each of those Drop Tables, all of the items that are in that Rarity level have an equal chance of dropping.

Now I'd like to create a Drop Table that would include 3x Rarity 0, for example. I see that Drop Tables can include Items/Bundles/Containers/Drop Tables. However, it appears that they can only hold one unique instance at a time, and not multiples.

Is there any way to express what I'm hoping to accomplish?

Thanks in advance!

A drop table specifically returns one item. To return three items, you would put a Quantity of three on the bundle or container that has the drop table in it. To be clear, that would give the player three random draws from the table in question. If what you want to do is give the player three of the same item, you may want to use EvaluateDropTable and GrantItemsToUser in a Cloud Script, instead.

Oh...right, yeah, I see that what I meant to do was a combination of the Drop Table and a Bundle/Container. Thank you!
