Hello Kavy,

Your question is a general Kendo UI issue and you should post in in the Kendo UI forums or Stack Overflow where Kendo UI community discussions take place. The Telerik Platform forums are for discussions about problems or questions that arise during mobile app development in Telerik Platform.

Just a quick note, because your problem may indeed be a simple one. It seems like you are mixing numbers with strings. In your first code snippet you have an array of numbers. In getVal they are a string. The MultiSelect won't be able to find the items if their values are numbers and you are passing a string parameter. Try with var getVal= [4, 6].
