Read/Write multiselect property

Former Member

Guys, I again need your help. I'm going crazy with a (i think simple) problem, maybe you can help me out?
I've got a "onboarding" document, containing a multi-select property called "Department". It's a simple "choose from list Departments (multiselect).
At the And of the Onboarding, I create a Employee Object in the workflow and "copy" some of the onboarding property values. That works fine! I can copy text and single select (lookup).

What drives me crazy is to read a multiselect and write the same values to the "same" property in the new employee object.

I tried alot... at the moment i try it this way:

Read Multi-Select property

...
' Abteilung/Department
Dim ilookups_abteilung : set ilookups_abteilung = PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(1234).TypedValue.GetValueAsLookups
...


Write to the new object

...
' Abteilung
oPropVal.PropertyDef = 1234
oPropVal.TypedValue.SetValue MFDatatypeMultiSelectLookup, ilookups_abteilung
oPropValues.Add -1, oPropVal
...


That gives me a "type conflict"
What's the problem?
Regards

  • Not a problem a all.

    I would also highlight that an alternative to developing in VBScript exists in the Vault Application Framework (VAF): developer.m-files.com/.../

    The VAF may not be something that you look at initially, as it requires a skillset that you may not have in your organisation. What I will say, though, is that the more complex your scripts become, the harder they become to maintain in VBScript. The VAF provides a framework that can be leveraged to make your code less brittle, find issues before deployment, and aid in debugging complex issues.

    That said: VBScript is not going anywhere.

    Regards,

    Craig.
