        Alexander,

        I would like to use cascading dropdowns as a multi-value people picker as I can apply filters, which is not possible with SharePoint OOTB multi-value people picker. The emails are auto filled in the second multi-line text box so that they can used in the TO: field in a DFFS email. However, a “\n” is being inserted between each email address and as a result the DFFS email is not being sent to the multiple email addresses collected with the cascading dropdown.

        Emails returned from cascading dropdown: john.doe@abc.com;\njane.doe@abc.com;\n

        Can the “\n” characters be removed somehow, perhaps with a rule governing another field?

        Thanks,
        Mike

          Hi,
          You find information on how to change this delimiter here: https://spjsblog.com/dffs/dffs-plugins/spjs-cascading-dropdowns/#Change_multichoiceDelimiter

          Just change it to “;” and you should be good to go.

            I am using DFFS 4.4.4.32. Since I do not see the “Change multichoice delimiter” in my Cascading dropdown options at the bottom of the screen was it added in a later version?

              I updated to the latest DFFS 4.4.5.5 and I still do not see the “Change multichoice delimiter” option.

                You don’t have that option in the Cascading dropdown tab in the DFFS config, only when you call the function manually form Custom JS: https://spjsblog.com/dffs/dffs-plugins/spjs-cascading-dropdowns/#Invoke_the_function_manually

                  Yes, I determined that and have configured my Custom JS. However, I’m unable to deactivate the Cascading dropdowns panel by deleting all entries as I get the message, “Error in “Cascading dropdowns” tab! The FieldInternalName “” is incorrect”

                  Is there a way to remove that?

                  Mike

                    You should just hit the “delete” link in the bottom right corner of the Cascading dropdown config.

                      Yep, my mistake. I’ve got the Custom JS configured and working great with the correct delimiter.

                      Thanks for your help,
                      Mike
