Netsuite Suitelet SSv1 Change Multiselect Value to Array

I have a multiselect field in the GET section of my suitelet and I am trying to use the value of this field in the POST section.

Here is my multiselect field in the GET section as it is populated by an Object:

var marketplacesList = form.addField('selectedmarketplaces','multiselect','Marketplaces',null,'part3');

    for (var k in marketplaces){

        marketplacesList.addSelectOption(k,marketplaces[k].label);

    }

Then when I log the value in the POST section as such:

    var selectedMarkets = request.getParameter('selectedmarketplaces'); //gets a multiselect from GET section

    nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','selectedMarkets',selectedMarkets);

I get the following string:

"amazonComamazonUKamazonCAamazonFRamazonDEamazonITamazonJPamazonESebayComebayUkebayAuebayVolt"

How do I make the value of the multiselect an array so I can use it for iteration, etc.?

Thanks,

Solution

  • Do it like this:

    var selectedMarkets = request.getParameter('selectedmarketplaces'); //gets a multiselect from GET section
selectedMarketsArray   = selectedMarkets.split("\u0005"); //Turns it into an array
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG','selectedMarketsArray',JSON.stringify(selectedMarketsArray));
