Creating user list or email list field
I have parent table (customers) with a child table (Contacts). Contacts contains a user field and an email field I'm trying to combine all of the contact users into a single user list in the paren...
Forum Discussion
Hi Chelsea- My ultimate goal is to create a user list field at the parent level (customers) that is a collection of the user fields on all child records (contacts). I would then use this user list field as the recipient of QB notifications at the customer level
Im playing around with Marks suggestion and also with using a simple pipeline that appends the user to the multi-user field each time a new contact is added... just struggling a bit with figuring out the correct jinja syntax to do that (in case there are any jinja experts out there)
Thanks.

Okay, I don't know if this helps, but I did a similar thing - except the notification kicks off from the parent table.
On the parent table, I have a multi-select text field called "Contact(s)". Input type is From Another Field, and that references the child table.
I then created separate Contact Email fields (I made 5 because that's the max we expect), these are Formula - Email fields:
It'd be easy enough to now pull those Contact fields into your child table as regular lookup fields, and you can then address your notification to go to Contact Email 1-5 (in this example).

var text EmailList = ToText([Contact(s)]); Trim(Part($EmailList, 1,";")) // Taking values from multi-select field Contact(s) and parsing into separate email fields(Just update the 1 to the 2-5 for the other fields)
