Hi,

Im having 2 issues:

1. This is a similar issue to this one: [Setting the values of a Multifield item - #7 by magnus.bolling](https://forum.litium.com/t/setting-the-values-of-a-multifield-item/769/7)  
where my multifield doesn’t show up in backoffice but data is in database.

2. when updating page, the multifield isn’t updated. This is the code im using:

```auto
var multiFieldList = new List<MultiFieldItem>();
var multiFieldItem = new MultiFieldItem();
   multiFieldItem.Fields.AddOrUpdateValue(firstTextFieldInMultified, "hello");
   multiFieldItem.Fields.AddOrUpdateValue(secondTextFieldInMultified, "world");
   multiFieldList.Add(multiFieldItem);
   
var pageClone = page.MakeWritableClone();
   pageClone.Fields.AddOrUpdateValue("multifieldItem", multiFieldList);
                   
    _pageService.Update(pageClone);

```

Litium version: 7.7.2  
Accelerator

For the changes to be visible in BO you should update the `DraftPage` rather than the `Page` entity. You can update the draft page and then publish it to push the changes to the live version of the page.
