Multivalue Control not allowing multi select #246

Open fsmendoza14 opened 1 year ago

fsmendoza14 commented 1 year ago

We have added a multivalue control to an existing picklist field so that we are able to select more than one item in the picklist drop down. This has been working fine until today when we attempt to add second item from the picklist it gives the error, “The field ‘Modules’ contains the value ‘[Value 1];{Value 2]’ that is not in the list of supported values.” In addition, when opening up a User Story or Bug that contains multiple values in the field it does not give the error unless trying to add a third value or changing the original two values to two new values.

I was not looking to recover any data I am looking for the ability to multi select in that field. Can you please take a look and comment on if we will be able to select multiple items from the drop down for this field.

Hi, I know It was a mistake, I apologize for the confusion.

Hi, we're running into the same problem within Azure DevOps when using multi-select, are there any updates on when this might be resolved?

Also getting the same error when trying to multi select different items in my picklist. any update or work around to make this useable?

Hi, I'm using the following workaround:

  1. Check 'Allow users to enter their own values' for the picklist field
  2. Uncheck 'Allow users to enter their own values' for the multivalue control extension This ensures users can only select items from the picklist but multiple selected picklist options can be stored in the picklist field.
