Getting error "not in the supported list of values"

[rlheman]

After setting up the Multivalue control I tested it and when I choose more than one I get an error saying "The field 'Products' contains the value ' (9 names of my products) that is not in the list of supported values." The custom field is originally set up as a string picklist. I get that error when I try using just the picklist. I tried setting up it up using the individual fields like in the example but get the same error. I tried just the semicolon no spaces and semicolon with a space in between each name. I get the error both ways. I tried in both Chrom and IE 11 but got the same error. I then tried it in a different VSTS instance and it worked there. The first is my production environment that was set up in June this year. The 2nd instance is a personal instance set up several years ago. I've attached a screenshot with the error.

You need to set the picklist to let user's add their own values:

We are using Visual Studio Team Services so I do not have a workitemdefinition that I can post.

How is translated the check: "Allow users to enter their own values" into the XML? I have tried the ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE and had the same error.

Sebastian have you tried SuggestedValues? That lets you create an initial list but a user can add something else if they want (at least that's how I remember it working when I was using TFS).

Thanks! Solved using the SuggestedValues!
