Well aren�t you lucky. If you read the release notes from the very recent December 16th release you will see that there is a new type of summary field called combine text. You can now summarize any text field in children up to the Parent to get a list of up to 25 Unique children.
The field will appear in a bubble format, but can be turned into a more text like appearance using a formula field ToText([my summary combine text field])

- EOMDevelepors7 years agoQrew CaptainThanks for the reply. I did that but it only shows the first record and not 25.
Thanks again - QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainThat does not seem possible. I have already used that new feature many times and it works.
Can you confirm that you set up a Summary field on the relationship between Events and Subscribers and that you have not applied any filters to the summary field setup. - EOMDevelepors7 years agoQrew CaptainThat is correct. I did that and its not showing all records only the first one.
- QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainMy only other though is that you may have some consusion over which field is being summarized. Other than that, it will take someone to look at your app, so you should put in a support ticket.
- EOMDevelepors7 years agoQrew CaptainI put in a support ticket. Let's see the outcome.
Thanks - QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainYes, please post back what they say. I'm very curious.
- EOMDevelepors7 years agoQrew CaptainThis is crazy.... I simply didn't relate the second subscriber to the event. I was to fast and didn't fill out the entire form and forgot that I need to relate it to the event in order to test........
So sorry for the confusion.
Thanks for your help. - QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew Captainnp
- EOMDevelepors7 years agoQrew CaptainOne more question, what would be the best way to take out the ; which is placed between values when converting to text.
Thanks - QuickBaseCoachD7 years agoQrew CaptainYou can use this formula;
var text value = ToText([my combine summary field]);
List(", ")
Trim(Part($value,1,";")),
Trim(Part($value,2,";")),
Trim(Part($value,3,";")),
Trim(Part($value,4,";")),
Trim(Part($value,5,";")),
Trim(Part($value,6,";")),
Trim(Part($value,7,";")),
Trim(Part($value,8,";")),
Trim(Part($value,9,";")),
Trim(Part($value,10,";")),
Trim(Part($value,11,";")),
Trim(Part($value,12,";")),
Trim(Part($value,13,";")),
Trim(Part($value,14,";")),
Trim(Part($value,15,";")),
Trim(Part($value,16,";")),
Trim(Part($value,17,";")),
Trim(Part($value,18,";")),
Trim(Part($value,19,";")),
Trim(Part($value,20,";"))
)
That will provide a comma (space) separated list of the first 20 values. To be safe you should probably go up to 25 which is the maximum of the summary field, I believe.
If you wanted to just have a separator of a space then it would be
List(" ",
etc
