  Hello,

  Please, use the following code to get text representation of multiple choice field on a display form:

  fd.field('Choices').control()._el().text();
  

  if it contains multiple values, you can split it by semicolon:

  fd.field('Choices').control()._el().text().split(';')[0]

  [#3]: Hello,

   

  Use the following code:

  var fieldName = 'multipleChoice';

  var html = fd.field(fieldName).control()._el().html();

  html = html.replace(/;/g, '<br>');

  fd.field(fieldName).control()._el().html(html);

  Regards,

  Rostislav.

  [#5]: [#5]: [#5]:

  You can use this function:

  $.each($('.custom-formatting'), function() {
  	var html = $(this).children('.fd_control').html()
  	html = html.replace(/;/g, '<br>');
  	$(this).children('.fd_control').html(html);
  })
  

  where 'custom-formatting' is the css class of the multiple choice field that you set in the Forms Designer (click on the multiple choice field -> on the right you see a table with different attributes for the field -> under LAYOUT find Css Class row -> add a class name, e.g. 'custom-formatting' in this case).

  Regards,

  Rostislav.
