@Jeeru_venkat_Rao

it needs a list

so you need to use split

in_config("Multiselect").ToString.Split(","c)

Assumption is comma is string separator in config…if not change accordingly

cheers

Hi @Jeeru_venkat_Rao
use in_config(“Multiselect”).ToString().Split(","c)
Split method to convert the single string from the Config file into an array of string

4

in_Config(“MultiFacilityNames”).ToString.Split(“,“c)
string[8] { @”{
““abc”””, @"
““ccd””“, @”
““ssd””“, @”

It shows the output in immediate window and throw the error.

It should be like–
{
“abc”,
“ccd”,
“ssd”
}

This is error which I am getting as per your current code-
Select Multiple Items - Results: Expression Activity type ‘VisualBasicValue`1’ requires compilation in order to run. Please ensure that the workflow has been compiled.

Uninstall and reinstall any relevant packages UiPath.System.Activities

Hi
Review the quotes, and replace them again for "
Also, UiPath does is not recognizing “ and ” characters, make sure to use "
I got this issue too - UiPath did not throw that error until running the workflow
