Multi-Select Lookup Values Lost in DataContract List in SysOperation Report

I’m experiencing an issue with multi-select lookups in a SysOperation report in Dynamics AX / Dynamics 365 F&O. I have a report with a UIBuilder and a DataContract where three parameters are defined as

List: parmProjInvoiceId, parmWhsCode, and parmItemId. Only parmProjInvoiceId works correctly; the other two lose their values.

For example, the contract definition for ItemId is:

[DataMemberAttribute('ItemId'),
 AifCollectionTypeAttribute('_itemId', Types::String),
 SysOperationLabelAttribute("@Labels:InventItemId")]
public List parmItemId(List _itemId = itemId)
{
    itemId = _itemId;
    return itemId;
}

In the UI, the multi-select lookup works correctly: the _control.text() contains all selected items separated by semicolons, e.g., "item1;item2;item3". However, when the report framework calls the parmItemId() method before processReport(), the _itemId parameter contains only the first item, and the rest are lost.

Here is an example of how the multi-select lookups are configured in the UIBuilder:

private void InventItemIdLookUp(FormStringControl _control)
{
QueryBuildDataSource qbdsItemId;
container itemIdContainer;
Query query = new Query();

qbdsItemId = query.addDataSource(tableNum(InventItemIdLookupSimpleView));
qbdsItemId.addSelectionField(fieldNum(InventItemIdLookupSimpleView, ItemId));
qbdsItemId.addSelectionField(fieldNum(InventItemIdLookupSimpleView, NameAlias));
qbdsItemId.addSelectionField(fieldNum(InventItemIdLookupSimpleView, ItemType));

itemIdContainer = [tableNum(InventItemIdLookupSimpleView), fieldNum(InventItemIdLookupSimpleView, ItemId)];

SysLookupMultiSelectGrid::lookup(query, _control, intentItemControl, _control, itemIdContainer);
}

Debugging shows that initially, when parmItemId() is first called, the _itemId list contains all the selected values. At a later point, right before processReport(), the framework calls parmItemId() again and passes only the first value, effectively overwriting the full list with a single item.

I haven’t been able to determine why the SysOperationFramework is dropping the additional values from the list, even though the UI shows them correctly.

I don't know how to resolve this problem, can you help me pls?
