Are more then one columns in String list Attribute type possible in RTC?

Hello,

Is it possible have more then one columns in the string list attribute type, or any other ways to illustrate this in RTC currently?
We have a case where we need the paired string list as shown below, but currently RTC supports string list with only 1 column.


             Heading1  |   Heading2
             Kind1        |   Value1
             Kind2        |   Value2

We are using RTC version 4.0.6. Any hints towards this would be great help.

Regards
Madhu.

As far as I am aware, a string list attribute type is a type that stores a list of strings.
It does not store a list of a pair of strings.

However, what you put into each string, if you allow for multiple values, is up to you.
So you can store one string that actually is a pair of values, separated e.g. with a pipe as in your example. For RTC that is basically one value. If you want more, you would end up having to create a custom attribute presentation.You can do that, but it is effort, needs to be deployed and maintained.
