Hello, I am working on a project and I want to save a list of values into an array from a form. In this form, the user has to type the values with each value separated by a semicolon. Then I want to save this list into an array that is a value in a CDT. Is that possible?

You can do a split() at the ';' that would return the values as as array of text.

Thank you, but when I'm trying to save that value I can't choose the array of the CDT. So what can I do for that?

Is the CDT element that you're attempting to save into, of type text and is a multiple?

Perhaps you're trying to save the value from a form directly into a pv? The value needs to be saved into a node input (text array) which in turn saves into the pv's (CDT) field.

Use Split function and then same array values in the CDT.
