Getting tags to show up as tags with comma separated fields

Hi, I am pulling comma seperated text in an Airtable field into a “Tag” type in Softr. Instead of the tags appearing as a seperate, they are all clustering in one tag. Anyone know why?

See image for what I’m seeing in Airtable, Softr and my website:

Can you try semicolon too ?

@artur semicolon also displays as a single tag, not multiple.

In order to display as tags, I guess it needs to be an Array of values or individual records or a multi-select column.

An option would be to change the text column to a linked field in AirTable and then it displays as tags. You can use an automation (Make or Zapier) to perform the same.

I’m finding the same problem with multi-select property fields in Notion.

I’d like to know what Softr is looking for in order to display each tag separately – it’s neither a comma nor a semicolon, I’ve tried both of those. Either way, if we know which character Softr uses to separate the values, we can implement workarounds.

Tags are formatted properly if they’re stored as a Multiple Select field in Airtable, so @rongoldin if you change from a text field to Multiple Select it’ll probably work for you. (It’s the better way to store that data, anyway.)

From what I’m reading, Multiple Select fields are an array of strings, and so are Multi-select fields in Notion. But there must be something about the format that’s different between the two.

I am using supabase, and set up a basic text type field, and input values blue;red and mapped that to a tag field in Softr, and seems to be working well, displaying them as separate tags! Hope this helps… have not tried it in notion…

Hi @no-code.ei. Do you have any Softr apps connected to Supabase you can share? Softr “connects” to it, but there isn’t much feedback in the community about it.

I literally had the same problem for around two weeks and yeah there’s no info on how to fix it. Everyone at Softr was struggling to figure it out, we literally tried everything. FINALLY they got it to work. I don’t know what they did, but make sure you’re using transaction pooler and recreate a new database code. Also, please reach out to them via chat. Aramayis, Andranik(<—he especially went above and beyond) and Artur were amazing! I appreciate them so much!! For some reason some us (not many, but we exist) have a heck of a time with the integration. Feel free to message me and I’ll show you and tell you everything we tried!
