This is actually what the findValue() method was introduced to do. However, Jörn has implemented the multiple values to the findValue() method yet. So at the moment, if you're using the multiple select you'll have to do your own parsing to match up the values in the text field to match up to their internal ids. You can use it on singular values, but not multiple values yet. I'll see if I can help on that portion over the next few days. Quite frankly, the multiselect functionality will probably take a few revisions to get working correctly. It's a new behavior and one that's likely to generate lots of feedback. -Dan
