I am working on an app which allows users to select questions from our questions database for their quizzes. What I have encountered is a weird behavior where the multiple choice selection doesn’t select the choice if the string has a comma in it. Can someone please help sort this?

That’s expected behaviour.  
You will need to change it so that the choice component writes a list of RowIDs (or similar), and use the value with the comma for display in the list.

Thanks Darren. That worked! To clarify what I did, I wrote to the cell the hash Value but used Display As question-text.
