    Hi partner,

    If you want to set multi select option to other record, you could use the following code.

    Get multi select option value

    Entity entity = _service.Retrieve("account", new Guid(old RecordId), new ColumnSet("new_multioption"));
    Entity accountEntity = new Entity ("account", new Guid(New RecordId));
    
    accountEntity["new_multioption"] = entity.GetAttributeValue("new_multioption");

    Set multi select option value (single value)

    OptionSetValueCollection collectionOptionSetValues = new OptionSetValueCollection();
    
    OptionSetValue optionSet = new OptionSetValue(optionsetValue);
    
    collectionOptionSetValues.Add(optionSet);
    
    entityAccount["new_multioption"] = collectionOptionSetValues;
    _service.Update(entityAccount); 

    Set multi select option value (multi value)

    string[] arr = { collection of option set value };
    
    foreach(var item in arr)
    {
    collectionOptionSetValues.Add(new OptionSetValue(Convert.ToInt32(item)));
    }
    
    entityAccount["new_multioption"] = collectionOptionSetValues;
    _service.Update(entityAccount);

    Hey,

    I understand your pain, Developer tool kit use SDK V8. MultiSelectOptionSet need the V9.

    Please check this blog:

    I used the same idea to setup the V9 SDK in VS2017. It works for me !!
