E.g. if a selected value no longer exists in the list of choice values because it was phased out at one point. For this case I like to dynamically add it into the choice labels and values so it doesn&amp;#39;t show a pink screen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Multi drop down value selection issue</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/78009?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2020 20:20:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:cd1fd831-ed68-4855-b425-52b628bafd2a</guid><dc:creator>Scott Milton</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;It sounds like you are storing an array of ids as a semicolon delimited text to the database, but your dropdown is expecting an array of IDs instead.&amp;nbsp; You can probably just use split() with &amp;quot;;&amp;quot; as the separator to get the semicolon delimited text back to an array before passing the variable to your dropdown.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.3/fnc_text_split.html"&gt;docs.appian.com/.../fnc_text_split.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
