Update multi value property through metadata webscript

[dc_noze]

Hi guys,
i'm trying to update a custom multi value string property through /alfresco/service/script/org/alfresco/repository/metadata/metadata.post webscript.
This is the json data sent to the script:

{properties:{"{myns}myproperty":["string1","string2"]}}
‍‍‍

and this is the response:

org.alfresco.web.scripts.WebScriptException - Wrapped Exception (with status template): Failed to execute script '/org/alfresco/repository/metadata/metadata.post.json.js (in classpath store file:/home/daniele/dev-apps/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts)': org.json.JSONArray cannot be cast to java.io.Serializable: Wrapped Exception (with status template): Failed to execute script '/org/alfresco/repository/metadata/metadata.post.json.js (in classpath store file:/home/daniele/dev-apps/Alfresco/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/webscripts)': org.json.JSONArray cannot be cast to java.io.Serializable

I have already tried to post a simple custom properties and everything works fine. Any ideas on how to pass the value?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Daniele.

Hi dc_noze, I have the same problem, did you found the solution ??

Thanks.

If I remember it correctly it's not an array but a string where values are separated with commas. So I think it should be {properties:{"{myns}myproperty":"string1,string2"}}. Alfrseco seems to support multiple values just loosely.

Edit: oops.. the original post was so old. Well, hope this helps someone.
