List view options for field with multiple values

[chennessy]

For a field with multiple values, Is there a way to separate the values by newline rather than by comma in a list view?

Hi Cheryl,

For fields with two values, take a look at Composite value fields. Project management uses this quite a bit to show a project number and short description in one field on a list.

I'm not sure this is applicable, as I'm looking to configure the display for just one field, with multiple values, such as Readers.

I want the Readers to be listed as stacked in a column, not separated by commas, for a list view.

Thanks!

I'm assuming that your display field is a string. What size string is it? You may be able to stack the fields with \n in a larger field (max length is 1000 or greater)

Chuck, I'm not following you.   It sounds like you are saying I need to create another field to list the multiple values in the initial field?

That just doesn't make sense to me.

In this example, the field is a list of Readers (referencing User (sys_user) table).   The display field for the user table is Name (yes a string.)

Coming from a Lotus Notes background, I would just indicate in the column configuration for a view that the column would separate multiple values within a cell by a newline rather than a comma.     I'm not quite sure how else to explain it.

Thanks for sticking with me!
