Hi,

 

thanks for your help - the Join did work.

Unfortunately the default value I typed in doesn't show up, I think it's because it's not a value from the list the parameter is pointing at, right?. I also don't understand why there is a check box for "accept empty value" if it doesn't work....

 

 

Thanks again,

Yes, unfortunately once you specify an allowed list then only values from that list are accepted. If you don't have an allowed list the user can type any text they like, but then you loose the multiple items option.

It's conflicting with the Allowed Values property. If you also had an empty string as an allowed value it would work.
