Combining "datalists"

I am creating a lookup for selecting from multiple datalists. One datalist will have specific clients I work with one-on-one, while the other list will have non-client-specific tasks. 

<input list="clients" "jobs" name="forWho">
        <datalist id="clients">
          <option value="SP">
          <option value="WH">
          <option value="CR">
          <option value="AP">
        </datalist>
        <datalist id="jobs">
          <option value="Admin">
          <option value="Break">
          <option value="Personal">
        </datalist>
      <input type="submit">

I have two datalists, and the input line at the top. What I am wondering, is there something I can use to "concatenate" (?) the two datalist id's on the first line? (See the "goof" in the code coloring?)

I am sure there is a way to create a combined list using JavaScript, but I don't want to go that far yet. This is a very early testing model just to run a few ideas past potential users.

Thanks for the help!
