Dialog list, data changes after selection

Hi, I have a dialog list with this data:

Ordinary wearer

Runner

Golf player

After I select one of this and left the field, the data in the dialog list will be:

Ordinary wearer

wearer

Runner

Golf player

player

Any idea, I work a lot with dialog lists and this never happened before (there is always a first time!)

Thanks in advance,

Paulo

I think it is a bug in R6.

Select “allow multivalues” for the dialog list, then untick all of the multi-value separators.

Double check “allow multivalues” has unchecked itself, and the form should behave normally.

Thank you so much.

Is working perfect now. Strange thing, this never happened to me before ???

Hurrah!

Only seems to happen when you allow values not on the list, don’t know if that is the difference.

Is the list generated by formula?

It may be that the dialog list formula is referring to a field which contains the list values. Then when you make a selection or exit the field the form is being updated and additonal values are added to the reference field, which would result in the choices being updated…

It’s because you allowed a space to be your multivalue separator…
