Hi. I have active contacts from my contact list in Children row. I would like to bring them together in one cell in parent row. I understand function COLLECT needs to be used with another function. If it is JOIN, then it lists me all the names but they are not active contacts anymore. Is there a possibility to keep them active in Parent row?

    There is currently no way to use a formula to output multiple usable contacts within a single cell even if the box in the column properties is checked to allow multiple contacts. Unfortunately what you are wanting would have to be manual entry on the parent row level.
