Can i have a string field which accepts multiple values?

thiraj · ‎05-30-2017

Hi Team,

I want to create a form with a field where users can input different values (sort of like a array field). I tried using the "Data Structure" field type but it does not meet our requirements. Can i have a string field with can take several multiple values (maybe separated by commas).

All help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi Thiraj,

string field accepts upto 254 characters or less, the string field will be a single-line text field, Anything 255 characters or over will appear as a multi-line text box.

I don't think there wouldn't be any issue if you save the value with comma separated.

Reference: Field types,

Let us know if you are looking something different.

Hi Thiraj,

In your case I would recommend you to go with the String field type. This will allow the user to provide any information, including comma separated value. Also it allows the user to provide Character, Number ans Special Characters. All you need to do is to set the Max Length of the field as per you requirement, so that the users are restricted to type information up to that length.

I hope this helps. Please mark correct/helpful based on impact
