Fixed - No control over the trailing comma

For multiple-choice drop down custom fields, the system enters a comma after each value for the output display. This is expected I guess. Now when we use the value display html as allowed like this to have the output display as a list then we get this: So there is a trailing comma. The...

Not possible without custom development I believe.

Thanks for sharing. It's helpful to figure out the issue.

Meanwhile, what solution you recommend in custom development to get the desired functionality?

I wouldn't know but maybe @frm can help.

Thanks, I'm using a text input custom field.

I had a fix, but it breaks custom fields in add ons using the same XF function which was necessary to run on my forum (AMS & RMS, no fault of Bob for using XF functions).

I ditched it for now until I can find a workaround that keeps add on functionality while separating by a space (for different formatting) elsewhere in XF.

Thanks, @frm for your reply.

I got the desired functionality by extending the default Definition class.

There is a function getFormattedValue in Definition class which renders the custom field value.
I checked that if the custom field is my specific custom field then code should work.

public function getFormattedValue($value) { if($this->field['field_id']=='any_specific_id' && strpos($value, ',') !== false ){ $output = str_replace(',', '<br />', $value); return $output; } return parent::getFormattedValue($value); }

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong here.

Thanks

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong here.

I didn't think about setting it up like that with the specific field id in an if statement. Looks like I can move forward with setting up my forum with that now as without that, it has undesirable effects on other inputs.
