I have a search that is finding values from a multiselect field and I need to use those values to populate the same field in a different transaction. I am able to get the field values but when I go to set the field values using what was found I get an unexpected error.

var originalLicenseType = result.getValue({ name: "custbody_licenseType"});
recCurrent.setValue({ fieldId: 'custbody_licenseType',value: originalLicenseType});

I also tried using getText and setText but that is doing nothing - no error either

var originalLicenseType = result.getText({ name: "custbody_licenseType"});
recCurrent.setText({ fieldId: 'custbody_licenseType',text: originalLicenseType});

Any ideas on how I can accomplish what I am looking to do?

You need to look at what

originalLicenseType

is, its not the same format you would use to set a multiselect field via code.

thanks. was able to get it to work.
