How to use Comas in a picklist in Outlook forms

[vincetaylor]

I have a field in an Outlook form which is a dropdown listing cities and the corresponding States.

The dropdown options should appear as follows

• New York, NY
• Pittsburgh, PA
• Lincoln, NE
• Boston , MA

So I set it up as follows in the properties

Issue: When I save the form, Microsoft Forms immediately converts the comas into semi colons and the resulting dropdown looks like this

Question: Is there any syntax or setting I can use to get Outlook forms not to delimit by coma or immediately change comas into semicolons ?

Any chance you can use scripting? That will let you use the comma... but as far as I know, no, you can't use a comma, but I will double checl.

Thanks Diane.
Please tell me what you mean by scripting. At this point I can only update the list of possible values manually.

You can use VBScript in the form to popular the list. If you are sharing the form, it may not be the best solution.
