How to get first 3 element using control
Hi,
I am using a property ( propA) in listview in display tab to show values in UI. This property contains comma separated values ( eg: propA = (aa,bb,cc,dd,ee)) and I need to show it as below
aa
bb
cc
and my 2nd requirement is to show first 3 element.
I achieved the first part by creating control as below but I am getting all the elements of the property. How to get only first 3 element?
<SPAN style="font-size:12px;vertical-align: top;">
<%String s = tools.getActiveValue();%>
<%=s.replaceAll(",","<BR>")%>
</SPAN>
Can someone please help on this?

@TaniyaD3 Have you also considered making the property a page list or converting it to a page list structure by using a function such as pzSplit? Then you can just use a repeating dynamic layout with row visibility. If this is not a great option for your situation, then I would at least go for using the OOTB pyStringListWithLineBreak control that is marked as extension:
<table id="table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<pega:forEach name="$THIS">
<tr>
<td nowrap>
<pega:reference name="$this-value"/>
</td>
</tr>
</pega:forEach>
</table>
Not sure yet how to limit the results to the first three only within either the custom or OOTB (extended) control.
Check question: what is the mode of the property?

@BasRulesMatter! Thanks for the reply.
Property type is text and due to our requirement we are storing comma separated values in it.
Thanks,
