Hello alberto, I have a macro that maybe could help you with this. It concatenates the result of a list separating them with a provided separator. Since you are using the list field maybe this can work with it.
Let me check if it works and if it does I can release a pre-release of my next plugin so you can grab the plugin or just the macro.
