Hi folks, I'm a complete newbie here, so please go easy on me. I found some answers that were along the lines of what I was looking for, but didn't really understand how to apply them to my situation. 

I have a multi-select picklist for 'Product' in my Account records, and I need to copy that information in my Contact records. I do not need the information editable in Contacts, and don't even plan on displaying it in the Layout (as I only need it for sync'ing with MailChimp). I do need the field to stay up to date if changes are made in the Account record. I thought a Custom Field with a Formula type was going to be the solution, but it seems that Text format won't play nicely with multi-select fields. 

Look forward to your patience and assistance with this.
