How to multiSelect with selection manager in power bi custom visual

Question

I am using a kendo multi select in power bi custom visual but it appears that only the first selection is sticking.

My code is below:

            $("#myMultiSelect").kendoMultiSelect({
                dataTextField: "value",
                dataValueField: "identity",
                dataSource: viewModel.categories,
                change: function(e) {                 
                    var selectionDeffered = this.value().map(id => selectionManager.select(id, true));                       
                    if (this.value().length == 0)
                    {
                        selectionManager.clear()
                    }
               }
            });

A full gist with the kendo core is here:

Is there a simple way to achieve multi-select? I may be making an obvious mistake but the chiclet sample is very complex and uses a different method called selectionhandler. I am unclear how to user selection handler with kendo.

Answer 1

The issue was I was not clearing previous selection. The selection manager multiselect is working if one multi select is added. I have not been able to get the mutliselect to work if multiple multi selects are added.
