How to set CustomAttributeTextMultiValue from Powershell

Question

Feeling lost here, because using the exact syntax from example #4 here gives me a Set-AdmObject: One or more input parameters are invalid error when I try to pass an array of values:

$values = "value1", "value2"
Set-AdmObject -Identity <guid> -Replace @{adm-CustomAttributeTextMultiValue2=$values}

If I pass it a single string, it works as expected:

$value = "value1"
Set-AdmObject -Identity <guid> -Replace @{adm-CustomAttributeTextMultiValue2=$value}

Hello,

Your approach is incorrect as $values is actually not an array like in the examples you referenced. To achieve the desired, you can change the variable definition as follows:

$values = @("value1", "value2")

So both are perfectly valid ways of creating an array. The @() syntax coerces single values into arrays.

$values = "value1","value2"
$values.GetType()
