storing multi-select values

As I understand it, Xataface stores items of a multi-selection list on a seperate line in the given field. I was wondering if there’s any way to override this behaviour.
I need to separate each item with a comma (,) instead of a carriage return (\n).
So instead of:
MATH
ENGLISH
DRAMA

I want:
MATH,ENGLISH,DRAMA

How can I proceed with this override?

TIA

You should be able to set the separator directive in the fields.ini file for the field.

Code: Select all

[myfield] separator=","

Disclaimer: I’ve never used this directive in any of my apps, but it *should* work.
