Thanks for the response Javier. I have specified the type converter. Conversion is done correctly from String->Collection. The problem is when the form is redisplayed, only the first value of the collection is displayed. This is down to the <stripes:text> tag getting first value and handing that off to the formatters to format, when what I think it should do is hand off the whole collection to the formatters where my custom CollectionFormatter would format appropriately into a single String.
