Hello,

Please, use the following code to get text representation of multiple choice field on a display form:

Code: Select all

fd.field('Choices').control()._el().text();

if it contains multiple values, you can split it by semicolon:

Code: Select all

fd.field('Choices').control()._el().text().split(';')[0]

Hello,


Use the following code:

var fieldName = 'multipleChoice';

var html = fd.field(fieldName).control()._el().html();

html = html.replace(/;/g, '<br>');

fd.field(fieldName).control()._el().html(html);

You can use this function:

Code: Select all

$.each($('.custom-formatting'), function() {
	var html = $(this).children('.fd_control').html()
	html = html.replace(/;/g, '<br>');
	$(this).children('.fd_control').html(html);
})

where 'custom-formatting' is the css class of the multiple choice field that you set in the Forms Designer (click on the multiple choice field -> on the right you see a table with different attributes for the field -> under LAYOUT find Css Class row -> add a class name, e.g. 'custom-formatting' in this case).
