Additional Information Similar kind of error can occur when you are setting an object directly to a string field, For example,

Variable : A

Type : Multi Line Text

Client Script:

var arr = []; // creating an array object

g_form.setValue("A", arr);

To resolve this you would need to convert the Array object to a string using "toString()" method, Please see the below example

var arr = [];

g_form.setValue("A", arr.toString());
