      'class'     => 'required-entry',

      'value'  => '4',
      'values' => array(
                            '-1'=> array( 'label' => 'Please Select..', 'value' => '-1'),

                                            'value'=> array(array('value'=>'2' , 'label' => 'Option2') , array('value'=>'3' , 'label' =>'Option3') ),

                            '2' => array(
                                            'value'=> array(array('value'=>'4' , 'label' => 'Option4') , array('value'=>'5' , 'label' =>'Option5') ),
                                            'label' => 'Color'   
                                       ),                                         

                       ),
      'disabled' => false,
      'readonly' => false,
      'after_element_html' => '<small>Comments</small>',
      'tabindex' => 1
    ));

Its working Good. But i want to set the values as dynamically. That means I want to display all category list under this multiselect attribute. I have searched lot of things. But i cant get. Can we use foreach loop for adding value to that attribute? or have any other way to do this? Please help me guys!

You can prepare values array with any data before and then use it in your form. For categories it's smth like this:

$categories = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$values = array();
foreach ($categories as $category) {
    $values[] = array('label' => $category->getName(), 'value' => $category->getId());
}

Hope it's clear and works for you.
