Migrating data in production from single box combinations to multivalued comboboxes. In the single-value passage to multivalued controls, the first and last characters are cut off. How can I fix it?

Since the data is stored in the format “[value1];[value2]”, and the data is backed by a field that stores only 255 characters, you may run into a character limit when have long values in the dropdown and/or select a lot of options.

value

Optional. Specifies the value to be copied into the field when value is specified for the from attribute. Valid values consist of a string of text that contains between 1 and 255 characters.

The value to copy can be empty.

More details please refer this official documentation from Define a default value or copy a value to a field .

So the first and last characters are cut off. If you are also encountering this issue, the only way is tweaking data in the filed less than 255 character.
