Hello,  
how can I create a field with the option to select Multiple Items from a Drop Down List and that it will write in my table the selected values with a separator (say ;).

for example:  
I will have a list with the option to choose a favorite fruit: strawberry, watermelon, orange.  
when I choose watermelon and strawberry it will write in my table: “watermelon;strawberry”

TNX!!!
