Problem:

How can I set multiple values for an attribute of type set using web services?

Resolution:

Using Web Services you can set multiple values for an attribute of type set.

Please see example below that logs in as admin | admin and adds 3 values (Windows 2000, Windows 2003 and Windows XP) to the attribute "Platform".

Please note - attributes and their options must be defined by using the GUI before they can be used via web services.
