By default, the module returns an error message when user selects more than the maximum number of values (based on the field settings). The behavior makes sense for multiple values but not so much for single selection (it's awkward to uncheck just one value before selection).

Instead of saying "Please select no more than 1 values", it should just replace the old value with the new one. E.g. mimic the file selection behavior.

I've included a patch for review.
