    Set values in CheckBox List code behind

    Hi all, I have such code that created new node in Umbraco.

     IContent story = contentService.CreateContent(model.StoryTitle, folderId, "successStory", 0);
 story.SetValue("storyStates", model.States);

    How I can set value in CheckBox List property?

    As far as I remember a checkbox list contains a comma-separated list of Ids. So you can set it like:

    story.SetValue("checkboxList", "1,2,3,4,5");

    or

    var values = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
story.SetValue("checkboxList", String.Join(",", values));

    This has changed in Umbraco V13. The Checkbox List datatype now contains string representation of an array, containing a CSV.

    So where @Dan Diplo's 

    var values = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };story.SetValue("checkboxList", 
String.Join(",", values));

    would create the value 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, you'd now need to create a string which contains the square brackets, like [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    Updated code: 

    var values = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };story.SetValue("checkboxList", 
$"[{String.Join(",", values )}]");
