    Hi Mark, 

    So how would I set these fields up?  I have looked at what you sent and cannot seem to get it to work

      So, just to be clear, the user would be presented with a multi select field and in edit mode the choices would be presented natively. 

      But in view mode mode you want to use a form rule to hide the multi select field and in its place display a stacked colored list of the selected choices?

        Hi Mark, 

        I will try to be a bit more detailed. ( I am very grateful for the help):

        My goal is to create an Account Summary Field/Box at the top of my form to give my users a quick status of any given clients case.  

        When in view mode,  I would like to have the tags associated with the account displayed (thus wanting to customize how each tag looks)  I have attached some PNG's for reference.  

        PNG references attached:

        1.      Account summary editing.PNG - this is my form in editing mode, where I want us to be able to select the tags

        2.     Sample tag select.PNG - this would be my multi-select text field in editing view  (viewing as well)- where we would make our tag selections to display in viewing mode

        3.    Chosen tags.PNG - this is how I want them to display on my form (I would also like to create a button to do this if possible)

        4.    Account summary viewing.PNG - Here is where I want the tags displayed that have been chosen, but in the formatting from above.

        Make sense?

        THANK YOU!!!
