I want to create a field like a list collector in an incident table

I want to create a field in the incident table that has the same functionality as the list collector.

I want to select one from the options and add it to the field as a comma separated string.

Can this be achieved?

Hi,

Unfortunately,  List collectors work with many-to-many relationships. It has to have something to relate FROM and TO. One a new record (not yet saved), there's nothing to relate TO so the list collector option is not available. It's the same answer as why you don't have related lists on a new record. They aren't related to anything when there's nothing created yet. A new form isn't available in the database yet.

 

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks,

Sandeep
