    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.

    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)
