ParticipantHow to store more than one value in a text field in order to create a hierarchy?
For example:
In a text field I have the column "location". This can have "Black Forest", "Freiburg", "Berlin" etc.
Now I want to be able to select only "Freiburg". But right now it just gives me everything that is written in the text field: "Black Forest, Freiburg, Berlin ..."
So how to separate this right from the import?September 23, 2021 at 12:41 PM #30907Long Nguyen
ModeratorHi,
The
textfield is used to store the text value only. If you want to be able to select, please use the fieldselectorcheckbox_list.

That in the frontend it shows up as two values and not one.September 26, 2021 at 6:30 PM #30976ParticipantFor an easy real example:
I have two teacher names inside of a column:
Teacher Location
Max|Susan Berlin
Max Berlin
Susan HamburgNow in the frontend I built a search&filter. But the teachers of the first line appear as a own teacher "Max|Susan".
But I only want that you can select Max or Susan.
The problem is that we import this with .csv file or google sheets sync.Is this easy thing not possible with metabox? Or what do I not understand here?

September 27, 2021 at 7:07 PM #31008ModeratorHi,
I'm afraid that it is not possible to import this kind of data to the Meta Box field's value. You need to import the text only without the separate characters. I will inform the development team to explore the possibility.
