Text List Cannot Be Used In A Formula?

I tried this, except i get an error basically stating that the ToText() function does not support conversions from a textlist (It basically says it is looking for text, numbers, bools, etc. but found textlist)

The formula will save just fine. The formula editor has a bug in it which is giving a false warning.

This is not true. The error no longer saves the formula and does not implement.
For example this does not work.

If(Contains([Eye Wear Type(s)],ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)])))

Jim you might have to also do this... Give it a try. That is my best guess since Contains is supposed to work with a text field, that is probably where the error was. IF this one does not work then I will test it myself.

If(Contains(ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)]),ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)])))

Yeah, tried that too. Noped.

I don�t understand in English what you are trying to test for. The formula looks incomplete.

I have again recently tested with converting a Text List using ToText() and it worked fine for me, Jim maybe there is another area of your formula that is causing the data type error. If there is more to your formula than the line you commented above can you show it?

Here's the entire thingy. I commented out all the other code to pinpoint only that one piece of code and it doesn't work.

//21 fields
//List(", ",
//If([Acid Suit],"Acid Suit"),
//If(Contains([Boot Type(s)], ToText([Boot Type(s)])),
//If(ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)])
//If([Face Shield],"Face Shield"),
//If([Fall Arrest System],"Fall Arrest System"),
//If([Fire Retardant],"Fire Retardant"),
//If([Hard Hat],"Hard Hat"),
//If([Hearing Protection],"Hearing Protection"),
//If([Kevlar Sleeves],"Kevlar Sleeves"),
//If([Metatarsal Guards],"Metatarsal Guards"),
//If([Reflective Vest],"Reflective Vest"),
//If([Respirator],"Respirator"),
//If([Rubber Boots],"Rubber Boots")
//)
//&
If(Contains(ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)]),ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)])))
//& If([Boots], ", Boots: " & [Boot Type(s)])
//& If([Gloves],", Gloves: " & [Glove Type(s)])

Plain english:
If the multi-select field named Eye Wear Type(s)_ has any selections checked, then display those selections in this formula rich text field.

Try this

If(ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)]),<> "", ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)])),

Yeuss!!
If(ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)])<>"", ToText([Eye Wear Type(s)]))
