Id like to have a list of values in a multi select generic CRED field populate a repeating Types field.

Ive got a list of countries that I would like the user to pick from - they may need to pick more than one.

I would then like these stored against a custom field in types as separate values of a repeating field that i can display on the front end?

Is this possible, I cant get it to work currently.

Im using a view to bring up the values in the generic field - but when I use the generic multiselect in CRED it wont store.

Hello,

It needs custom PHP codes, for example:
When user choose some options in the multi select field, and submit the Toolset form, you can use action hook cred_save_data to trigger a custom PHP function
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data

in this function get the value of user submitted, and save it into database
