    So... what IS the plan for multi-value person fields? Should we phase these out and build/parse text strings of email addresses, create sublists, is it in the works, what? Haven’t seen this on any roadmaps so am assuming the official stance is ‘we kinda tried, didn’t work, u guys figure something out while we create twitter apis’.

    @bdc604: did you find a solution?

    I also would love to have this function and I'm thinking about creating an Idea for it.
