You are great, that was exactly what I was looking for, next time I'll take a 
look there before asking here. 
Well, I just only find it a bit unusual to have the multi select field at type 
9, and types 4-8 doesn't seem to be used.

something else I observed:
- I have no labels defined yet
- encoded the values: values = {key1=value1; key2=value2;};
- when I then open a contact to set a value, I choose betwen the value1, 
  value2,... but when I then only want to take a look at the person 
  attributes, the webui presents me the key1, key2...
- so to make it consistent, I have to make it: values = {key1=key1; 
  key2=key2};
Is that intended to work that way?

kind regards
Sebastian
