How to know if form field allows multiple values?

I am trying to export forms metadata to SQL Server. I am having a hard time trying to figure out if a field allows multiple values, is this possible?

Solution

  • Most items within Lotus Notes documents can support multiple values. The fields on a form can be set to allow / disallow multiple entries but the underlying NotesItem within the NotesDocument object can usually support multiple values.

    Here is some documentation on this: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_VALUES_PROPERTY.html

    The rich text item doesn't support multiple values, but for text, number and date types you have to assume that there may be multiple values there.
