Saving data from multi-select list to SharePoint

Hello,

 

I created a form that has a choice field in it (check boxes multi-selection). The choices in this field are values from fields that were previously submitted in the top half of the form. I can get this to show up and work properly but I'm having issues linking the users selection back to a sharepoint list.

 

I've tried connecting the field to a single line textbox but that poses a problem because the values for the choices are longer than the 255 limit (especially if the user selects 2/3 of the choices). I don't see an option to connect the field to a multi-line textbox. Is there another way to get the data on what the user selected in this section and link it to a SharePoint field so I can have it in my list?

 

I hope that was clear. Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Have you tried connecting the control back to a choice column on the SharePoint list?

@R_ADE ....Use choice column of a list and connect to it.

Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response !
I tried linking it to a choice column but I can't leave the choice column blank when creating it so it automatically pulls the information in the choices and overrides the choices I actually want.
