Hi,

I noticed when saving custom fields (Multi-Select) with an Membership Create API call:

when trying to saved 1 value, the value is saved without delimiters
multiple values are saved as "[delimiter]Array[delimiter]"

Because of this issue, you can't use the CiviCRM search function to search Membership with these values set.

Kind Regards.

Are you sure that single values are saved without a delimiter?

When a field can have multiple values. CiviCRM Usually saves this by [delimiter]value[delimeter]value[delimiter]

I don't know why this is the case but it is. And the class CRM_Core_DAO has a constant containing the delmiter. And I do think there is some functionality in the class to extract data from a multiple field. Not sure wether it is in the CRM_Core_DAO class or in another class such as CRM_Utils_Array
