    Hi Jimmy,

    Just to confirm, do you want to separate the selected options in the Multiple Selections widget with commas? If so, I tested it using the conditions, and it seems that Multiple Selection options can't be separated with the commas. I would suggest using the Multiple Choice element instead because it would automatically separate the options with commas. Take a look at the screenshot below:

    Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, click the Add Element button located at the upper left corner of the page.
    2. Under the Basic tab, add the Multiple Choice element to your form. Make sure to hide the existing Multiple Selection widget since we are no longer using that.
    3. Next, click the gear icon to open Properties, then go to the Options tab and add all your options.

    Once, modify your condition. You can follow the same condition below:
