[Zope] manageAddProperty for a Multiple Selection in a Python Script

[complaw@hal-pc.org]

I also tried the code...
> 
my_obj = getattr(context, id)
my_obj.manageAddProperty('my_keywords', user_keywords, 'multiple selection',
context.select_keywords)
 
.. which, when run, prompted the following error message:


                                Zope Error

                                Zope has encountered an error while publishing
this resource.

                                Error Type: Bad Request
                                Error Value: No select variable ['Censorship']
