Note:

The Select deluge task selects a specified choice in a single-select, multi-select or a lookup field.

The Deselect deluge task deselects a specified choice(previously selected) in a single-select, multi-select or a lookup field.

Note:

If a choice is selected using the assignment operator '=', and another choice is selected using the select task, the assignment operator will overwrite the select task.

Parameter	Description
<field_link_name>	Link name of the field in which choices need to be selected or deselected. Only the following field types can be specified: Radio Drop Down Multi Select Checkbox Lookup (all Display Types are supported)
<expression>	Choice(s) to be selected or deselected. Important points to remember for this param: You must specify a single value for Radio and Drop Down fields. If you specify a list variable containing multiple values, the last value in the list will be selected. You can specify a new value if "Allow Other Choice" property of the field has been enabled. If this property has not been enabled and a new choice is specified, the choice gets ignored. You can directly specify a value, or you can also specify an expression, i.e. a combination of values, constants, variables, operators, functions and so on, which evaluates to a value or a list variable. For a lookup field, the record ID in the lookup form must be specified. If any other value apart from the record ID is specified, an error will encountered during runtime.
