**Your software** My Mautic version is: 2.13.1 My PHP version is:5.63 **Your problem** My problem is: How to pass multiple values to multiple select with the API please? These errors are showing in the log: Steps I have tried to fix the problem: I tried with a “|” but it didn’t work. However when I hydrate contact with a classic form, it shows the field with a “|” between each value in the contact list ---

Finally just need to prefix the select multiple variable with [] as an array. myVariable[0] =\> “value1” myVariable[1] =\> “value2” etc… Resolved! ---
