    I have a wf triggering on a multiple select field. if one item is selected, the wf runs perfect. if two items are selected only the first item will run. the condition is set to "Contains", but from what I have researched the SP tables stores this data like a single line of text, in multiple fields, so it will only read the first item. Is there a way to get the wf to read the second item and trigger that condition?

    I am open to suggestions. I was thinking maybe I could grab the selected items and store in a wf variable, or write each item into a separate field. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

    You could have the workflow run and at the end, update a trigger column in the list. When this item changes values, it could trigger another workflow?

    The trigger column is a direction I was thinking, but I am unsure how to do that with a single column. How would I parse out the values? I saw an earlier post for a request to change the output from semi-colon delimited to line breaks. Is something like this possible?
