Display items as comma separated text

Need help App Organization

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out something that I feel like is super obvious and I’m just trying too hard to find the solution.

What I want to do is display a list of objects from a table as a comma separated list.

i.e. a table has a field labelled categories the category item is a “list of categories”. The categories table has name as a field

I’d like to be able to use a repeating group to display two columns:

  • Item Name
  • Categories

The categories column should be just a list, separated by comma

e.g.

Item Categories
Steak Protein, Beef, Fat
Vegetable Green, Carbohydrate

That’s it. Any help would be appreciated.

No need for a repeating group, just make two textboxes and display.

Sorry reread question. Make a repeating group with a single column, loading categories. Put two textboxes: [Current cell’s category] [current cell’s category’s item names converted to list]

Let me know if it works.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for that, it works a treat, I was just missing a step.
