The list field is stored correctly (only serialized once). I believe I have seen this before and it ended up being a conflict with another plugin. You may want to go through the Plugin and Theme conflict process to find out why this is happening.

This is a bug.</p> <p>If it helps, I am retrieving the list data from the user metadata tables after using the User Registration add on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/double-serialization-of-list-values#post-70312 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 07:51:43 +0000 Chris Hajer 70312@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are you having trouble retrieving the values you need, or some other trouble? </p> <p>I've pinged the developers to see if they can add anything here.</p> <p>I also found this related information:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/list-field-help#post-39885" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/list-field-help#post-39885</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/double-serialization-of-list-values#post-70185 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 13:41:51 +0000 kingjeffrey 70185@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The array of values from a list field type are serialized twice before being stored to the database.</p> <p>Specifically it stores this:</p> <blockquote><p><code>s:48:&quot;a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:1:&quot;a&quot;;s:1:&quot;1&quot;;s:1:&quot;b&quot;;s:1:&quot;2&quot;;}}&quot;;</code></p></blockquote> <p>rather than this:</p> <blockquote><p><code>a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:1:&quot;a&quot;;s:1:&quot;1&quot;;s:1:&quot;b&quot;;s:1:&quot;2&quot;;}}</code></p></blockquote>
