Avoid Multi Selection turning into "7 of 20"

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I need to assign the values from a multi selection in a listbox to a variable to be able to recover that selection later.

Currently I am using an OnSelect Trigger to assign the field selection to a variable through the GetFieldSelections() function.

However, once the multi selection exceeds 6 items my expression only retrieves the number of selected items like "7 of 20" which I cannot use to re-select later.

Is there a way to fix that?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

You can introduce 3 parameters to the function:

GetFieldSelections ( field_name [, value_sep [, max_values]])

Example:

GetFieldSelections ( Country, '|', 20)

If you don't have to use the Active Selections object, I'd rather go for the Concat() function which will take also all values selected for the given field, and you can use all the functionalities of a text object for formatting, adding characters, delimiters, separators, etc.
