## Overview
If you enable "[Multiple Selection](/en/manual/table-management-multiple-selections)" on a classification that already has registered data, rather than a newly added classification, the data storage format will change and it will not be displayed correctly on the editing screen.
In the image below, the Participant column is a classification with multiple selections enabled, and the first and second rows are records created after multiple selection was enabled, and the third row is a record created before multiple selection was enabled.
The data itself is saved correctly, so it is displayed correctly on the list screen.

## Operation Procedure
To display correctly, convert the data storage format using the following procedure.

・Import the exported file. Be sure to check "Update record with the same key" in the import dialog and click the Import button.
