SetValue with Multiple Media picker
Hello,

I have a doctype that has multiple media picker, I am creating content of this type using content service and then looking to set the multiple media picker field code looks like
```
portfolio.SetValue(Helpers.DocTypeConstants.Portfolio.Images,packageItem.MediaIds);
```
where MediaIds is List of ints, my question is will that work or do i need to give the value as csv string list or??

Regards

Ismail

Hi Ismail,

You will have to convert to CSV, something like this:
```
portfolio.SetValue(Helpers.DocTypeConstants.Portfolio.Images,String.Join(",", packageItem.MediaIds.Select(x => x.ToString()).ToArray()));
```

If anyone is having trouble with Umbraco 8 then this is how I do it.

You basically need to get the UDI of the media item and use this to pass into the media picker field.

if you are dealing with a multiple media picker from memory I believe it is a comma separated list of Udis.

var content = _contentService.GetById("content-node-id-here");
if (content != null)
{
    content.SetValue("basicStringValue", "some-string-content");
    content.SetValue("anotherBasicStringValue", "some-string-content");

    IMedia media = _mediaService.GetById(mediaId);
    if(media != null)
    {
        content.SetValue("logo", media.GetUdi());
    }

    if(image != null)
         _contentService.SaveAndPublish(content);
}
