Hi all,
I’m creating a form and have choices with commas, but it doesn’t allow me to select the choice if there is a comma in a choice.
Do I have to reword it to make it work? When I remove the comma, it works. But there are many choice and many commas so want to figure out a better way rather than all that manual work.
Thanks for helping!

I removed all commas to troubleshoot - and now some more I can select, but some I still can’t select. I only use the “-” and “:” which are symbols that work in the other options.

It’s recommended to display what you want in a choice component, but write a simpler value, such as a RowID corresponding to that choice item. That way it doesn’t matter if your choices have commas or not.
