Multiple entries in single field - best approach?

[JokeAndBiagio]

Hello and thanks for reading this.

Coming to Panorama X from another program, and wondering the best way to do the following:

I have a field called SKILLS. In the other database (Airtable) I defined a multiple-select drop down. Clicking on it would reveal a list of skills. Choosing one would add it. Choosing several would add all of them to the field. That way if someone has multiple skills, they are all listed in the one field, as in this photo:

Field with drop down:

What’s the best way to do something similar in Panorama X?

Thanks again,
Biagio

In the Help wizard, with All options selected, go to Data Button Object:

and read down to the Creating a Group of Checkboxes heading:

Thanks so much, Michael. Really appreciate it.

If you want to colorize your choices, as in your original example, check the Rich Text box within Michael’s example. Then read up on Rich Text in Help, specifically the tag. You can’t display colored text in fields on the Data Sheet (although you can have emojis there which happen to be colored), but you can display colored Rich Text within Text Display or Text List Objects.

Thank you, John. I’m going to do just that, and appreciate the direction.

Best,
