Selecting multiple checkbox values

Are you able to provide the SAIL code you are using?

Hi Sally,

I am using Sail component.

a!checkboxField(
label: "text",
labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
required :true,
choiceLabels: {"a","b","c","d"},
choiceValues: {"a","b","c","d"},
value: if(isnull(local!abc),{},trim(split(local!abc,";"))),

saveInto:local!abc,
validations: {})

Thats fine, as you mention its a spacing issue, maybe a screenshot would help us figure out what is happening? In your initial post, I cannot see anything out of the ordinary: if you select more than one choice - those choices are stored as an array, arrays in Appian are separated by ';'

HI Mason,
Thanks for your quick response
As our requirement is ";" after no need space between the values
Current :"A"; "B"; "C"; "D"
Expected Result: "A";"B";"C";"D"

Hi Ramesh,
The joinarray function would help you to get the expected result.
I've attached screenshots of the code. Make sure you make the variable as an array list. Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Here is another shot of the output.

@rameshm
Yes, If we select multiple values space will be added between items for better visibility, But while retrieving elements you wont see the space before or after the item.

As suggested by @divyanshm , we can use join array , but the data will not be of type list any more as joinArray() returns as Text . Again we need use split() to get list structure (based on your requirement)

@ramesh: can you tell us a bit more about your requirement?

You seem to be under the impression that the result of the checkbox field selection is literally the string <<"A"; "B"; "C"; "D">>, however that is just appian's visual representation of an array of those characters created by selecting checkbox items. The only data that's really stored is that array - it's displayed (for convenience only) in the particular formatting you describe, but you are free to override that formatting per your needs, as the prior commentors have pointed out here.

I only bring this back up just to make sure you understand the fundamental concepts here, because being given a solution but not an understanding of why the solution is necessary, won't help you very much for future instances.
