Hello. I’ve put a field on a form with type “Names”, and set the property to “Display separate vales with” = “New Line”. I’ve filled up the field with 5 values.
The field on the display looks fine, but when I print this form (print also as print preview), it shoes only 3 lines. I’ve testet it with Notes 8.5.1 an 8.5.1 FP1. With Notes 8 it works fine. I don’t find anything in the Fixup-List for further version.

In the Print dialog box, click “Print Setup” tab and select the “Expand names field contents”

What on earth is the point of this feature?Perhaps only to create frustrations for multiple users??
Thanks,

Subject: Multi-value Names Printing snafu
I agree, making the default to only print the first 3 names in a list is so weird it defies logic. No doubt you can enforce that setting in preferences via policy, but why did IBM do this at all? What “problem” were they trying to fix?
If you don’t want to force that option on all users, then your only solution is to try to code around this (using Comp4Display Text or Computed Text) on forms that have edit history or similar sections on them. So you have to remember to code 2 fields everytime you have a multi-value Names field on a form. (!)

Thanks a lot. Looks like a feature, and it works fine if the flag in the print dialog is selected.
