TOPIC: Multiple select dropdown separate values in email

Multiple select dropdown separate values in email 12 years 2 weeks ago #17242

I have a form that has a multiple select dropdown box. When the results are emailed and stored in the db, the come in like this:
item one item two item three

Is there any way to separate those values with a comma or line break for readability? I saw a forum post for checkboxes that incorporated a break tag in the field value, but that didn't work - the break tag rendered as plain text in the select box.

Not sure if this will be helpful or not. I was looking at the Properties>Form Info> Misc. and saw you can specify a separator for multiple selections. Maybe changing that from the default will help your issue.
Look for this about midway in the Misc. section:

Multiple Selections Separator \n
Form fields that have multiple selectable values (checkboxes, multiple dropdowns) can be shown to the submitter (either by email or in the Thank You Message) with a custom separator. The default separator is a new line.

That is set to YES and the value is \n. But the values ​​are not in a new line on the mail.
Something else must be set?

I'd put in a ticket to Support about it. There may be something that needs to be done that we don't know about. Please post the answer here when you get it so we can benefit from it.

Good luck,
