Can someone give me a pointer on setting 'advanced multiselect' custom fields through code. I can set normal custom fields with :

Code: [Select]

	$params = array('custom_138' =>"blah",'entityID=2);	
$result = (CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::setValues($params));

a

but that doesn't set multi-select fields correctly and passing in an array or comma separated list doesn't either.

Code: [Select]

<?php
if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
  civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
}
require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/CustomValueTable.php';
$params = array('custom_30' => array("blah" => 1 ),'entityID'=>2);
$result = (CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::setValues($params));
print_r($result);

?>

returns

Array ( [is_error] => 1 [error_message] => value: Array is not of the right field data type: String )

Eileen:

You might wanna try this :

Code: [Select]

$params = array('custom_138' =>CRM_Core_BAO_CustomOption::VALUE_SEPERATOR ."blah".CRM_Core_BAO_CustomOption::VALUE_SEPERATOR,
                             'entityID=2);	
$result = (CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::setValues($params));

Thanks Yashoda. Is it possible to add things like this to the comments for a function - there seems to be a pretty tight format in use but it would be handy
