Hi TylerDavis
",#" is/was an internal separator used in some field types in the client-side or server-side object models.
For example was a value in a taxonomy column internally encoded as "<taxlistid>;#<Term Name>|<Term Guid;", so i.e. "12;#MyTerm|b2614abc-17a4-4b31-f17e16b0a;"
The syntax ";#CHOICE1;#CHOICE2;#" was used to store values for a "multi selection choice" column.
I think you changed the column from a "multi selection choice" column back to a "single selection choice" column and had this wierd side effect.
I also had these effects after i just switched a multi choice column back to a single choice column
Best Regards,
Sven
