Set content in Multi-valued text field

Question

I have a field called customerType in the Metadata of a Schema. It is a multi-valued text field. I would like to update the Component using Event System to set the Metadata of this field. So far I am able to place single value into this field using the code snippet placed below.

    foreach (ItemField field in metadataFields)
    {
       if (field.Name.Equals("customerType"))
       {     
           ((TextField)field).Value = "Test1";
       }
    }

Could you please let us know how to place multiple values in this multi valued text field. For instance, I would like to have "Test1" and "Test2" into this field.

Answer 1

You should use .Values property instead of .Value .Values property is always available if field is multi-value.

You can have something like this:

         foreach (ItemField field in metadataFields)
                {
                    if (field.Name.Equals("customerType"))
                    {
                        IList<string> values = ((TextField)field).Values;
                        foreach (string value in values)
                        {
                            //do something
                        }

                    }
                }
