Hi Team,

I am getting special character i.e ";" in empty field, how to remove the special character and save the value?

Already tried stripwith() and it is not working as expected.

Have you checked whether the data you're providing to the field is an array of null items? Appian will add the semi-colon as a separator character:

It is in array format

Then you need to re-think how to display the data. You have a list and are currently trying to display in a single field, so Appian is trying to be helpful by rendering the list with the semi-colon as a separator.
