We should provide a field formatter that allows people to show a multi-value field as a comma separated list of items. In Drupal 7 this was done by using the https://www.drupal.org/project/field_delimiter module.
Leaving this out will be a regression from Drupal 6. In Drupal 6 you could choose to display taxonomy terms on a node as a comma separated list of links. In Drupal 7, the only way to achieve the same thing was to use the taxonomy formatter module.
I would love to see this common-use-case feature restored to backdrop.
MVP:
- Allow separating items by a comma ,
- Apply this new formatter to any multi-valued field
- Allow formatting multi-valued fields as HTML lists (e.g. <ul>
, <ol>
)
Nice to have:
- Allow separating items by any custom delimiter (e.g.
,
,;
,-
, etc.) - Allow specifying a different custom delimiter for the last two items (e.g.
&
)
Backdrop contrib module: backdrop-contrib/textformatter

Hi patch-works. Thanks for posting the images. I've tried recreating the scenario, and have not encountered any issues when creating a new user account. I'm confused about one point...
Issue - Cannot create new user - "You cannot enter a title without a link url."
Hello Argiepiano, Thank you for looking into this. There are 3 links fields, this one is the most recent, here are the screenshots: https://app.box.com/s/...
Issue - Cannot create new user - "You cannot enter a title without a link url."
Glad to see this was resolved, and that the cause was not a bug! Gotta love this community!
