Edit as List with a Control

The List control is not an independent control in itself, but is a special control property that can be enabled for a Text, Text Area, Date, Time, or Date-Time control to represent multiple instances of primitive data.

It allows you to add and delete items, or move them up and down. The list functionality is enabled with the check box Edit as List on the Properties tab of the Properties view for controls that support list editing.

Note: A primitive attribute in the business object model that has a multiplicity of * (zero or more instances are allowed) corresponds to an array, and is represented on the default generated form with the Edit as List property enabled.

Likewise, a control with the Edit as List property enabled is rendered for a primitive process Data Field with the Array check box selected.
