Hello, Jean!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Flexmonster does not support working with lists and displaying them vertically inside a single cell. The component is designed to work with flat, tabular data, so showing multiple values vertically within the same cell (as in your example) is not possible.

We recommend using one of the following workarounds to represent one-to-many relationships:

  • You can join the list items into a single text value before passing the data to Flexmonster, like in this example: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/r39ohfwp/. This way, the entire list is shown in a single cell as plain text.
  • Instead of grouping all hobbies in one row, you can duplicate the record for each hobby. This format would allow Flexmonster to aggregate or group the data more effectively: https://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/gzh0j34o/

Please let us know if one of the suggested approaches would work for you.

Best Regards,
Maksym
