Sorry, I posted this to filemaker general earlier today.

Is there a way to have your words wrap in a value list? Instead of being in one long straight line?

Thanks for any help,

Doug

No, you can't have line wrap in value lists.

If you have very long values, it's better to use a portal to make the selection.

I'm a Filemaker newbie, but this question just came up for me as well. Unfortunately, a portal won't do for me. The checkbox choices just happen to be particularly verbose; no way around it. Any other ideas?

What I do for making multiple selections when the values are long (or have many descriptive fields,) or the list of choices is very large, is use two portals, one for all the choices and one for the selected values. This requires a table for the available choices and a table for the selected choices. Use a button attached to a script to add an available choice to the selected choices, and a simple Delete Portal Row to remove choices.
