Autocomplete setFields SPFieldMultiChoice

[BenR]

Alexander,

I admit that I don’t understand the syntax, and have to ask (I have searched this forum, but don’t see an answer…).

In Autocomplete, I am attempting to setFields from a SPFieldMultiChoice to a SPFieldMultiChoice – both named “TechCommodities.” With the following code, I get only one value set to the toFIN where the source has two values:

"setFields": [	
    {
        "fromFIN":"TechCommodities",
        "joinBy":"",
        "toFIN":"TechCommodities",
        "parseFunction":"",
        "skipIfEmpty":false
    }
],

Can you tell me where I have gone wrong?

In advance, thank you for your support and efforts!

R’grds – Ben.

You need to use the parseFunction option like this:

"setFields": [
    {
        "fromFIN": ["TechCommodities"],
        "toFIN": "TechCommodities",
        "parseFunction": "multichoiceField",
        "skipIfEmpty": false,
        "joinBy": ""
    }
]

And then add this function to your custom js:

function multichoiceField(a){
    return String(a).split(";#");
}
