3233537 - External Approval API: Sourcing multi-select custom field values returned in single string vs. array

Symptom

By default, the External Approval API returns values for multi-select custom fields in sourcing project headers as a single string and delimits each value with a comma and space. However, the External Approval API returns values for multi-select custom fields in all other project headers (such as contract workspace headers) as elements in an array. The Configure External Approval API format for multi-select custom header field values in sourcing header fields parameter can be set to Yes so that the API also returns multi-select custom header field values in sourcing header fields in an array.

For more information about this parameter, see "Configure External Approval API format for multi-select custom header field values in sourcing header fields" in the External Approval API for Sourcing, Contracts, and Supplier Management guide.

For information about managing parameters, refer to the Intelligent Configuration Manager administration guide.
