HI Michael,
You can try the following formula , assuming your field name is Comment
Create a Multi Select Formula
var text a=Part([Comment],1,";");
var text b=Part([Comment],2,";");
var text c=Part([Comment],3,";");
Split(List(" ; ",$a,$b,$c))
Don't worry about a messy formula , multi select can display upto 20 options max , so fire away as many parts you need

Subject: Pipelines - Addressing a Multi-Select option containing commas
Setup
I have an application with two tables (really more than two but the issue is surrounding two specific tables), and each of those tables contains a multi-select field with the same options. I designed a pipeline that would create a record in table b and copy the multi-select field selections from table a. The issue is that one of the options in the multi-select field is "Offers, Products, and Catalog". As you may be aware, when passing options from a multi-select field through automation it comma delimits the selections. So, in this case the automation is treating it like 3 separate options versus a singular option, thereby stopping/failing the automation. Should I simply put quotes around the choice so it treats it like a string value, put dashes between the options, bracket the option, etc.? What's the proper handling of a situation like that?
