Hi.

I have 7 dropdown menus with user initials, that are used for approval purpose. Not all of them needs to be selected. But when they have been selected and i press a button, i want to add those who have been selected to a textbox seprareted by ", ". This is not a problem. But when the selected users are approving by pressing another button, i want their initials to be removed from this textbox plus the ", ". Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

 Do the initials need to be listed in the order they were appended, or can they be in any order?

They can be in any order.

 You can use this formula to concat all of the non-blank items into a comma-separated list:

 eval(eval((field1 | field2 | field3)[. != ""], 'concat(., ", ")'), "..")

In the bold underlined part, you would list out all of your fields (use the Insert field or group... feature), separated by pipes.

This will append a comma at the end of the list, so if you don't want the final comma, you can use a substring() function afterwards to remove it.

 After reading your original post again, I realized that the above doesn't answer your question.  I will mull over it and see if I can think of a good solution.

I need to add some more information too.

When a user opens the form, i have a field that are being updated with their initials and my idea to this, was using this field to remove his initials from the textbox.
