Copying Multi Select Options from One Field to Another in a Different Table

I have a field with multiple select options in a table.

 

When I click the Approve field (checkbox), I want the data (the selected options) to be copied to a namesake field in another table.

 

Currently, I have the namesake field in the 2nd table as a single line text and so it works. However, in the 2nd table, it does not appear as multi option data. The challenge is that I am running a marketplace app and I want to create a filter-based search option and single line data doesn’t work.

 

There is a video posted in a previous question but that doesn’t solve my problem. I also tried to link the 2nd table’s field to the first but no luck.

 

Would this be possible in the first place?

 

As always, many many thanks for the tips.

Hey ​@SenRath!

Would you mind sending over screenshots of your schema (tables and fields) and screenshot of each step of your automation?

That would be helpful!
