List within PDF created with template only shows one comma and last value in list

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

This is probably something really easy that I am missing but I am not getting my entire list in my PDF.

I have a Google Doc template that is being used.

I have a virtual column that is created using SELECT, the VC is called “Attachments”
Select(ER Shopping Cart[Attachment],[Appointment ID] = [_THISROW].[Appointment ID])
Within the app it shows the entire list as expected broken apart by commas.

In the Google Doc template I have tried <<[Attachments]>> and <<LIST([Attachments])>>.
I get no errors but in the PDF it only shows one comma and the last value, it does not show the entire list.

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Wade,

You will probably need to use the “Start” expression in the template for rendering list columns.
Check out this doc here – Template Start Expressions | AppSheet Help Center

Thanks!

If anyone else runs into this problem, I just had to go in and change the ‘Type’ or column data type from ENUM to TEXT. Then putting it into your template <<[Example Column]>> and it will give you a list broken apart by commas.
