With the new multi-value cells feature, you can now insert multiple values into a single cell within properties — ideal for cases where information involves more than one person in charge, document, area, or status.
In this article, you will learn:
- How to add multiple values to a cell
- Which property types accept multiple values
- Frequently asked questions
💡 What does this feature allow?
Previously, each cell in your table or Management board only accepted one value at a time. With the new feature, you can add multiple values to the same field, without needing to create additional columns or split information.
Use cases:
- Associate multiple managers with the same obligation.
- Indicate more than one area in charge of a contract.
- Insert several documents related to the same item.
- Assign multiple users or teams to a workflow.
- Mark multiple statuses (e.g., “Under review” and “Pending approval”) when necessary.
⚙️ How to add multiple values
Adding multiple values to a cell is simple and intuitive. Here is how:
-
Click on the cell of type contact, status, list, team, user, or document.
- Use the search bar to select the first desired value.
- To add more values, continue selecting new items — all will appear within the same cell.
- When finished, click outside the cell. The values will be saved automatically.
- If there are more items than the cell can show, a “+” icon will appear. Hovering over it will show the hidden values.
How to remove a value from a cell?
- Click on the cell again.
- Click on the “X” icon next to the value you wish to delete.
🧩 Which properties accept multiple values?
Not all property types allow multiple values. See below:
| Property Type | Multi-value? |
|---|---|
| Contact | ✅ Yes |
| List | ✅ Yes |
| Status | ✅ Yes |
| User | ⏭️ Coming soon |
| Team | ⏭️ Coming soon |
| Document | ⏭️ Coming soon |
| Text | ❌ No |
| Number | ❌ No |

⚠️ Important: text, number, and date type cells continue to function with a single value per cell.
❓Frequently asked questions
-
Can I enable or disable multi-value mode?
It is not necessary. The functionality is active by default for all compatible fields.
-
Do I need to configure anything in current columns?
No. All columns of the permitted types will automatically accept multiple values without additional configuration.
-
Is it possible to use "fill with variables" to insert multiple values coming from the questionnaire?
Yes! The feature is compatible with advanced formulas, such as aggregateRepeated() and concatenate() — very useful when data comes from Lexin, for example. For simplicity, you can use the following syntax: concatenate(aggregaterepeated(contactEntity.EIN), aggregaterepeated(contactIndividual.SSN)
-
What if I use mirror or pairing?
The cell will show the values from the mirrored cell or the paired variable. It will be locked for direct editing, but you can go directly to the data source to change the content.
-
Is there a limit to how many values I can add?
Yes. Cells allow adding a maximum of 10 values. We recommend avoiding excessively long lists to maintain cell visualization and usability.
-
Do multi-value cells impact filters and automations?
Yes. Filters and automations will be progressively updated to handle multiple values. Initially, some functionalities may only consider the first value.
