Hello CRMQQ!

In order to set the values for a Multiselect option field, you have two ways:

1. Using Microsoft Dataverse Web API:

// On the parameter object, you add the following property: { "new_multiselectField": "1, 9" // 1 and 9 are the values of the options you want to select, if you just want one, simply add the value of that option }

2. Using formContext

//You create an array containing the values of the options you want to select formContext.getAttribute("new_multiselectField").setValue([100000003, 100000004]);

Here you also have two guides with more information about the topic: Option 1 (using Web API), Option 2 (using formContext)

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

As per my understanding, you need to set selected options (text) in a single line text field (comma separated).

Here is the sample code:

function setOptionsToSomeField(executionContext) { const formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); //get the selected options (text) var selectedTexts = formContext.getAttribute("gb_multiselect").getText(); //convert selected options to comma seperated string var stringValue = selectedTexts.join(); // Set this value to a single line text formContext.getAttribute("new_sometext").setValue(stringValue); }

Register this function on change of the Multi-select optionset, and do not forget to pass Execution context as the first parameter.
