Selecting multiple values adds concatenated values to drop down

[kphillpotts]

Description of the problem

When selecting multiple values in the drop down, value saves correctly to backing field - but when we come back into the work item the multi select drop down has a new item which is the combined value.

For example, first time:

When we go back into the item the drop down looks like this:

Field configuration

Backing Field:

• Picklist (string)
• Allow users to enter their own values (CHECKED)

Control Extension

• Allow users to enter their own value (NOT CHECKED) <- but doesn't work either way.

Workaround

• Using a label as a backing field and putting the selection values in the "Choose values for the control." field works. But it would be nicer if we could use a Picklist as the backing field

We have set this up multiple times before and not had an issue - so I'm pretty sure we aren't configuring anything wrong.

Version

We are using Azure DevOps - Control Version 2.2.35

❤️ BTW, thanks for providing the control, appreciate your work!

I have the same issue - has anybody figured out why this is happening or attempted to address it?
