Forms 2.0 - problem with pre-filled drop down values

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've run into an issue with the field of values in a pre-populated drop down.

In forms 1.0 I have a drop down that has a list of areas of study for our school. The pre-populated values are in the  formatted block of text below - however this doesn't work when used in a 2.0 form..:

\|||\Architecture|||Art, Media & Design|||Aviation & Automotive|||Business & Legal Studies|||Community Services|||Computer Technologies|||Construction & Trades|||Culinary Arts|||Engineering|||Environmental|||Forestry|||General Arts & Science|||Health Studies|||Hospitality,Spa,Tourism|||Outdoor Adventure|||Police & Public Safety|||Veterinary Studies|||Automotive and Transport|||Administration and Business|||Construction Technology|||Mechanical Technology

For some reason when pulling the same pre-filled drop down into a 2.0 form - the source text from above has been changed/duplicated to the following...  which still doesn't work properly:

\|||\Architecture|||Art|\|||\Architecture|||Art

 Media & Design|||Aviation & Automotive|||Business & Legal Studies|||Community Services|||Computer Technologies|||Construction & Trades|||Culinary Arts|||Engineering|||Environmental|||Forestry|||General Arts & Science|||Health Studies|||Hospitality| Media & Design|||Aviation & Automotive|||Business & Legal Studies|||Community Services|||Computer Technologies|||Construction & Trades|||Culinary Arts|||Engineering|||Environmental|||Forestry|||General Arts & Science|||Health Studies|||Hospitality

Spa|Spa

Tourism|||Outdoor Adventure|||Police & Public Safety|||Veterinary Studies|||Automotive and Transport|||Administration and Business|||Construction Technology|||Mechanical Technology|Tourism|||Outdoor Adventure|||Police & Public Safety|||Veterinary Studies|||Automotive and Transport|||Administration and Business|||Construction Technology|||Mechanical Technology

The way around this problem for me was just to re-input the data for the 2.0 form in the new simpler style. Though for the moment I do this every time I add the drop down to a new form - as I haven't tried to change the values in the source drop down settings outside of a 2.0 form. It's used in a number of other 1.0 forms which I don't want to take the chance of  breaking.

Architecture

Art, Media & Design

Aviation & Automotive

Business & Legal Studies

Community Services

Computer Technologies

Construction & Trades

Culinary Arts

Engineering

Environmental

Forestry

General Arts & Science

Health Studies

Hospitality,Spa,Tourism

Outdoor Adventure

Police & Public Safety

Veterinary Studies

Automotive and Transport

Administration and Business

Construction Technology

Mechanical Technology

I'd guess that the old method of using three pipe characters and slashes has no equivalent in forms 2.0... Whatever interpretation from 1.0 to 2.0 is going on doens't seem to be workin in this case. Though there are other drop downs that have no trouble being pulled into 1.0 or 2.0...

Stewart,

If you remove the item "Hospitality,Spa,Tourism"  does the issue sill occur?

It still doesn't correct the problem for the original list.

It does point to the issue, let us know with a ticket through our portal.

so the original list is:

Hospitality,Spa,Tourism

your second list same item is with a pipe:

Hospitality

Spa|Spa

Tourism

Hi,
it's not just the section with the commas that's broken in a 2.0 form - it's everything. I think the triple pipes between the selections don't work as I'd expect in the 2.0 form.
