This is too incredible and it was too necessary. I am beyond excited about this. Excellent. ---

How does it get added to the destination cell? Comma-separated list? ---

Yep…so, can’t really do multiselect on choice values with commas, but it’s good for now! ---

> [@Robert\_Petitto](#): > > can’t really do multiselect on choice values with commas Yeah, I think we are going to need the option to specify the delimiter. Comma is just too common. I’m a much bigger fan of the pipe character `|`. It’s much safer and I know for a fact that the federal government does some data transfers using pipe delimited data. ---

While I agree that the “|” is probably a better option for this, I also think that the “value” portion of the choice component should be a distinct value and not necessarily a long string of text (that may include a comma). ---

My delimiter of choice is a double-pipe `||`. I like that extra layer of safety 😉 ---

You’ll still use it for adding to/from arrays (as leveraged here: [🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Add Follower/Following functionality to your app](https://community.glideapps.com/t/add-follower-following-functionality-to-your-app/33380), but no, you won’t need it for multiselect purposes anymore! ---

You know what @ThinhDinh, I was so lazy to do the Trebuchet for the dozen **S** of multiselects that I have in my app, that I decided to wait (for 3 months…). Now I will be able to finalize then have this tested! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/3/5343a027ce9ef062bb3a70129075ffbe059ad6d6.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/5/a5584ec6ab180b47d6ad1f55ad98b13eabdfd136.png) ---
