Hello. I am using the new choice buttons in my app and allowing multiple selections. The multiple selections appear when I place the component on a page. They are separated by a comma, however, there is NOT a space after the comma so it displays running together. What it is doing: Choice A,Choice B,Choice C What I desire: Choice A, Choice B, Choice C Is there something I have not set correctly that there is not a space after the comma? Thanks for your input. ---

I did find a work-around using the new computed columns but I would prefer if it were just corrected to include a space after the comma to lessen clutter in the data editor. My work around is to use the Excel SUBSTITUE formula to change or occurrences of a comma “,” with a comma space ", " ---

You can do the same using the template column inside Glide, but yeah, I would love having a space here. ---

I think the ideal would be to allow for a configurable delimiter. Personally, I don’t want extra whitespace - I have no use for it. Also, commas will break if the source data also contains commas. It’s just a matter of time before somebody reports that as a bug 😂 Actually, just thinking about it a bit more, adding a space there would be a _really_ bad idea. That would mean if you were to subsequently create a split text column from the result, every element in the split text array (except the first one) would have a leading white space. This would break all sorts of things. So please, no white space. ---

That is a great point, however I can recall the split text automatically trim the text for me. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/0/607d1a548d5b3572aa11801ef5b1ed1876fad113.png) Here I use a joined text column with space (", "), splitting it without any space (just a comma), then the relation using the name column to relate to the split still picks everything. ---

ah yes, you’re right. Split text seems to be clever enough to figure out when there is extra whitespace. That’s good 🙂
