Help ... I have forgotten how to define a list

Yup, my memory has failed. In the Highlighting Tool when I use the Labeling feature and I add an attribute with the data type set to "List", how do I define the list. I'm feeling lazy since I can't find any documentation.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Use the semicolon to separate the list values.

    There are also several bugs I've found with labels and lists. 

    1. The lists are not ordered in the order you create the list.
    2. On a re-edit, you cannot get back to your original list values.  It brings up Logos' list of values based on what you typed.

    The lists are not ordered in the order you create the list.

    This I was aware of - FL lacks the standard I was forced to follow ... always implement with a fixed order that can be predicted.

    On a re-edit, you cannot get back to your original list values.  It brings up Logos' list of values based on what you typed.

    This I hadn't noticed ... I'll wait to tomorrow to try it and get annoyed. Thanks for the bug reports.
