you can create a formula field on Opportunity.

IF(INCLUDES( parent.Multi_Picklist_1__c , "A"), "A", NULL)  + BR() + 
IF(INCLUDES( parent.Multi_Picklist_1__c , "B"), "B", NULL)  + BR() + 
IF(INCLUDES( parent.Multi_Picklist_1__c , "C"), "C", NULL)

Balaji Ranganathan,

Thanks for the help. Now i need a little more help, i know i am changing the requirement a bit here.

I have a "Close Reason" custom multi picklist field in Accounts and i need the same in Opportunities. However if anything is updated in Accounts it should reflect in Opportunities which can be acheived by the above solution you gave. But, i would like the multi picklist in editable form in opportunities and what is edted should be updated in accounts and vice versa in short i need to map those two custom picklist fields. But the map option is not available in view fields page of accounts / opportunities unlike which is available in Lead so is there another way to do it.

Appreciate all the help
