Sharepoint form - I have a choice in one field and I want to select a person in another field based on this choice, possible?
In one column on my form that user is asked what product is affected (this column is choice). I want to use this choice to calculate a person or persons, who are to be notified in workflow. To further complicate things the user can select multiple products and I want this to result in multiple people being listed in the calculated field and thus multiple people being notified. For example: If product X is select John Doe is the result of the calculated field but If prdouct X and Y are selected then John Doe and Sally Smith are the reuslt of the calculated field.

I don't believe it is possible to have a multiple persons in a person field unless it's a group. You should probably only let them select 1 product if you want 1 approver if you want it to display nicely in a list. Unless of course you know that you will have at most X number of approvers in which case you can make them X columns. Kevin

You can have multiple person in people picker. What if you try creating a LOOKUP field instead of choice field so instead of "product" as choice filed you have product list : Product, PersonAssigned ==================== Apple , Tom; Jim then you can add lookup column pointing to above list with multiple selection enabled. The workflow then can read this lookup value and get mutiple person programmatically.

Thanks Kevin, That is what I feared might be that answer. I will just have to try to find another way to accomplish this.
