Multi-picklist using a list of element "errorCode": 5536
I'm trying to implement a multi_picklist with a list of elements, the following code works with one element but fail with a second one, so I think the structure is good, but the format of my list maybe wrong or I'm missing something
def listToString(s):
str1 = ""
for e in s:
str1 += e
print(str1)
return str1
new_cell_add = smart.models.Cell()
new_row_add.cells.append({'column_id': ######, 'object_value': {'objectType': 'MULTI_PICKLIST', 'values': listToString(my list)}, 'strict': True})
I'm getting the error:
{"result": {"code": 5536, "errorCode": 5536, "message": "The value \"com.navigo.smartsheet.rest.helper.sheet.cell.model.MultiPicklist@24f40bb\" could not be saved in column
Any ideas ?

I found the answer to this question,
- Call the sheet as level two and make sure the object details are included in the get
- The MULTI-PICK column it cannot be locked, or you will get the same error
- The list of objects has to be added to the element, it cannot be a list and then convert it as the API doesn't like it
- my loop in the function displayed above had an extra indentation in the return line
I hope this help others,

Hi Alex,
I am having the same issue that you reported. I can insert a new row with a Multi-Picklist column when I only specify a single value.
I am using the HTTP Action in Microsoft Power Automate. Here is the relevant portion of the Request Body:
{
"columnId": "3509176034977668",
"objectValue": {
"objectType": "MULTI_PICKLIST",
"values": [
"Reduce Risks",
"CAPA Request",
"Other"
]
}
},
You mentioned in your answer for #1 to include a query parameter for "level" and to make sure object details are include.
So in the URI I have the following:
https://api.smartsheet.com/2.0/sheets/8475180289812356/rows?level=2&include=objectValue
Method is a POST.
Unfortunately as mentioned I get the same error that you got unless I only include a single value in the values array.

#I created an small function to create the object to post as the multivalue:
def objectList(s):
str2 = []
for o in s:
str2.append(o)
return str2
detailed_lst = ('list','of','objects')
new_list =objectList(detailed_lst)
# then I used this syntax:
new_row_add.cells.append({'column_id': newrow_id, 'object_value': {'objectType': 'MULTI_PICKLIST', 'values': new_list}, 'strict': True})
# my issue was how the list was created, and this was the way I was able to do it, also my script is reused for #multiple purposes (that's why the multiple steps to get the final list)
