    Error when setting the values for a checkbox list property

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    Hi all

    I want to set the values for a checkbox list page property in my controller.

    This is my code example:

                        newOrg.SetValue("orgTypes", "3, 6, 9");

                    contentService.Save(newOrg);

    I am getting this error when I try to open the new created page in the backofficeenter image description here

    I am using this example, but I am not sure this is the best approach. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Finally I've found a way to do this!!

    I have manually created a 'newOrg' and saved it with the following checkbox list values ticked : type1, type2, type3.

    Then I went into the database and checked how the value for my checkbox list is stored. This is the format:

    "orgTypes":[{"culture":"","seg":"","val":"[\"type1\",\"type2\",\"type3\"]"}]

    So I've modified my code to:

    newOrg.SetValue("orgTypes", "[\"type1\",\"type2\",\"type3\"]");

    Thinking about it, I can probably use the database information for more complex data types as well, like nested properties.

    Hope this will help someone else someday :)
