How to update doc with data from multivalue field?

It should be so very straightforward.

One “customerdocument” with a multi-value names-field called “managers”. It is a “select names from adress book” field.

When I save the document, I’d like to call an agent that gets a notesdocumentcollection from a set of keys and adds the names-field content into a multivalue-field.

The the collection-document gets a call to doc.ComputeWithForm( False, False ) which should update any fields and then I save it.

The problem is that when I run the agent on PostSave, I don’t get the names as a list. Testing the uidoc fieldvalue with isList() says false.

And here I get the problem. The agent is in LS… how to I take the multi-value names and make it into a proper list with adress book names?

“adam/grp/domain”:“eve/grp2/domain”… so I can push it into the collectiondocument and get ALL values?

Because right now, I get “adam/grp/domaineve/grp2/doman” as one string. If I manually resave the end document it get set as I want.

Now, when I save, I don’t get the new values. There is no refresh on keyword change so I can’t use a hidden field that makes all values into a list, since eventhough I run on PostSave, it won’t get updated until AFTER the agent has run.

Any tips would be appreciated!

check out the Split function, if that doesn’t work then POST YOUR CODE!!!

I post open it should be something like this:

dim doc as notesdocument

dim i as integer,count as integer

dim value as string

set doc = source.document

count = ubound(doc.managers)

for i = 0 to count

value = doc.managers(i)

next i

if this isn’t working, you probably have something wrong in field setting.
