Sending Multiple Values in an Event

In the following use cases, a Multi-Selection field called "Testers" is populated with values specified in orchestration workflow steps.

Sending Values Asynchronously

In this use case, the Testers field is updated both with values a user selects on a form and values specified in a Service step in an asynchronous orchestration workflow. The Testers field values are sent in the application link for the orchestration workflow.

  1. Add a Service step with the TransitionItem operation to the orchestration workflow as shown below.

  2. Configure the TransitionItem step to add "Amy" and "Robert" to the Testers field.
    Note: This step uses the APPEND-VALUES parameter of the Set-Value-Method. For more information, see Set-Value-Method.

    After the user selects "Susan" and transitions the item, the Testers field contains "Amy," "Robert," and "Susan."

Sending Values Synchronously

In this use case, the values a user selects on a form for the Testers field are overwritten by values specified in the End step in a synchronous orchestration workflow. The Testers field values are sent in the orchestration link for the orchestration workflow.

Configure the End step to update the Testers field to contain only "Susan" and "Joe."
