set multivalue intake field in screen class

["Gaasch, Derek" <dg...@montana.edu>]

I'm successfully using a multivalue intake field for user input, however I
am having trouble pre-setting a multivalue field... I've created a screen
for editing content that was already created. On that form, I need to preset
the values of the intake tool with values pulled from the db. Any
suggestions how to do so? I've tried a variety of things, like 

java.util.ArrayList al = new java.util.ArrayList();
al.add(new Integer(12));
al.add(new Integer(13));
al.add(new Integer(14));

Object o = categorizergroup.get("CategoryId").getValue();
o=al;
 
I know that a multivalue field is a List of workingdog.Record objects (i.e.
when referencing them in the screen class, I know to use
$row.getValue("xxx"), but that hasn't helped me much. Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated .

Thanks!

AW: set multivalue intake field in screen class

[Marc Lustig <ma...@marclustig.com>]

I assume you are using a select-field that allows to mark multiple items.
I don't think you can use Intake to automatically map multiple values of a
field. AFAIK Intake can only map single values.
What I would do is retrieving the currently assigned values from db and
manually add the "selected" attributes to the corresponding <option>-fields.
If you need Intake to validate the form, you can setTemp the current values
or put them in the path.
