Display value list property within a Table
Hello,
I have to display a value list within a table in a section. How can I achieve this?
I tried to use pyStringListWithLineBreak control, also tried to embed a section and include the control there but no luck.

To display a value list within a table in a section in Pega, you can use the "Repeat Grid" layout and set the data source as a Page List property containing the values you want to display.
Here are the steps to achieve this:
- In the section where you want to display the table, add a "Repeat Grid" layout.
- Configure the data source of the grid by selecting a Page List property that contains the values you want to display.
- In the "Columns" tab of the grid configuration, add a column for each value in the list that you want to display.
- For each column, set the "Property" field to the corresponding property in the Page List that contains the value.
- Save the changes to the section.
If you want to display the values in a specific format (e.g., separated by commas or line breaks), you can use a "Field Value" control in the column configuration and set the "Output format" to the desired format. For example, to display the values on separate lines, you can set the "Output format" to "HTML" and use the "<br>" tag to insert line breaks.

- Save the changes to the section.
This will display the value list with line breaks between each value in the table column.

@Sumit KumarThank you for your time and detailed description. I am struggling to achieve step 4. What do you mean with Output format field. I cannot see the option to select HTML. Can you share a screenshot please?

The "Output format" field refers to the format in which the output of a rule is generated. This field is available in various rule forms, such as Section rules, Report Definition rules, and List View rules.
The available options for the Output format field can vary depending on the type of rule and the version of Pega being used. In general, the most common output formats in Pega are HTML, PDF, and Excel.
If you are not seeing the option to select HTML as an output format, it is possible that this option is not available for the particular rule form you are working with. For example, some rule forms may only support generating output in PDF format.
If you need to generate HTML output for a particular rule form, you may need to use a different approach or workaround. For example, you could use a custom HTML rule or JavaScript to generate the desired output format. You could also consider contacting Pega support or consulting the Pega documentation for further guidance on generating HTML output in your specific use case.

@Tobi78 You can use Defer load in the layout, call an activity to copy data from value list to pagelist and this pagelist you can source it to the grid inside the dynamic layout.

@Tobi78 To display a value list property within a Table in Pega, you can follow these steps:
- Create a value list property in the Data Class of your application.
- Create a Section that includes a Table layout.
- Within the Table layout, add a column for the value list property.
- In the column, add a field using the "Property" control type.
- In the "Property" control properties, set the "Property mode" to "Read Only" and the "Property reference" to the value list property.
- Save and preview the Section to see the table with the value list property displayed.
Alternatively, you can use the "Repeat Grid" layout instead of a Table to display the value list property. In a Repeat Grid, you can select the value list property as the data source and configure the grid to display the values in a column format.
