CheckBoxes Custom Field in Documents & Files Module

Hello

I want to create a custom filed of checkboxes in the document & files, Where I can check multiple values.

To do this I wrote some code and I got the check boxes list but i am unable to select multiple values or more than one values. On selecting more than one product I am getting this error on popup.
There was an error deserializing the object of type Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.Services.ContentItemContext`1[[Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Document, Telerik.Sitefinity.Model, Version=4.1.1339.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563]]. End element 'TEEST' from namespace '' expected. Found element 'item' from namespace ''.
I created a number of classes and a desinger(User control which I inherited from ChoiceField)

Images and Code is attached for the guidance.. Please help me as soon as posssible.

Thanks Alot.

I am unable to upload my code thats why writing it here.
I created 3 classes and a control.

Thanks In Advance! Hepl me plz

Thanks

Any one plzzzz?

hello!......Any one from telerik team?

Tell me if you know the solution otherwise deny me that it is not possible in available release.

Hi waqar,

We have tested this behavior and identified a bug in our WCF services. The problem is not with the ChoiceField control. I have been looking for a workaround to provide until we fix the issue, however I have been unable to find one. You can track the bug progress from here.

Best wishes,

Thanks for the reply,

Please let me know ASAP about the workaround.
One more thing, Will I get some telerik points for helping in identifying this bug?

Thanks!

Any workaround?

Hello waqar,

I have updated your points. Unfortunately we do not have a workaround for this.

Best wishes,
