When using a drop down list with multiple choices, you simply use:
item1,item1
item2,item2
item3,item3
And so on. However, does anyone know a way to enter choices that contain a comma? Since it uses commas as delimiters, it messing things up. For example…
$1,000,$1,000
$2,000,$2,000
$3,000,$3000
Thanks.
Hello, When using a dropdown list with choices that contain commas, you can employ a different delimiter or an escape character to handle the comma within the choice text. Here are a couple of approaches you can consider:
Use a different delimiter: Instead of using commas as delimiters, you can utilize a different character that is unlikely to appear within the choice text. For example:
$1,000; $1,000
$2,000; $2,000
$3,000; $3,000 ExpressHR
By using semicolons (
as delimiters in this case, you can avoid conflicts with commas within the choice text.
Escape the comma: Another option is to use an escape character, such as a backslash (), before the comma within the choice text. For example:
$1,000, $1,000
$2,000, $2,000
$3,000, $3,000
Thanks for the reply.
I tried both approaches, neither worked.
Here are the results I got respectively:
and…
Thinking you perhaps meant…
$1,000,$1,000
$2,000,$2,000
$3,000,$3,000
I also tried that, but it didn’t work, giving me…
The info and instructions in Wix say it needs to be a comma:
So I’m thinking it would need to be some way more like your second approach, but the \ doesn’t work.
(I had tried some of this before posting. That’s why I’m stumped to see if anyone here knew a way around this.)
