The Value Processor correctly adds references to a many cardinality property when using Add Selection, but removes all references when using Remove Selection, e.g. when trying to remove a single reference out of several.

Hi @eirik.k,

I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue based on the information provided. Could you share some screenshots of how you’ve set up the remove selection? That would help me investigate further.

For reference, this is how I tested it on my side to give you an example:

Hi!  
I’m facing the same problem as well. Have you found any solution to the issue?

Hi @julie.bergem,

I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue that @eirik.k reported. I successfully removed a single subtask from the main task during my testing. Could you please double-check if you selected “context” in the removal selection?

Here is the setup I used to test with:

However, @eirik.k mentioned that he found a workaround. Could you share it here, @eirik.k?

I used a runtime property to store the referenced objects, and there I was able to use remove selection.
