In Grails how do I capture multiple selected items in g:select?

I have a Contact Domain class that can be associated with multiple Organizations, which are also domain classes. I want to use a multiple selection box to allow the user to select the organizations that are associated with the current contact. The selection box is populated with the available organizations. How do I assign the selected items to the organizations list in my Contact class?

 <g:select name="organizations.id"  
           multiple="multiple" 
           optionKey="id" 
           from="${com.ur.Organization.list()}" 
           value="${contact?.organizations}" />

The above is what I am currently trying, and while it does populate the selection with organizations it doesn't seem to put the selected items in my organizations field.

Thanks for any advice.

Here's an abbreviated version of the domain classes.

class Contact{
    static searchable = true
    static mapping = {
        sort "lastName"
    }
    String firstName
    String lastName
    .  
    .
    .
    static belongsTo = [organizations:Organization, projects:Project]
}

class Organization {
    static searchable = true
    static mapping = {
        sort "name"
    }
    String name
    static hasMany = [contacts:Contact]
}

Well just change the name to

<g:select name="organizations"  multiple="multiple" 
          optionKey="id" 
          from="${com.ur.Organization.list()}" 
          value="${contact?.organizations}" />

Should work fine, just tried it.

Note my domain definitions look like this, (just in case you have something different

class Contact {

    static constraints = {
    }

    static hasMany = [organizations:Organization]

    String name
}


class Organization {

    static constraints = {
    }

    static hasMany = [contacts:Contact]
    static belongsTo = [Contact]

    String name
}

one problem is that value="contact?.organizations" should be value="${contact?.organizations}" — not sure if that is the whole problem or not. (also, the attribute multiple=".." is not necessary if value is a collection)

You may also need name="contact.organizations" to be name="contact.organizations.id" and another attribute optionKey="id"

In your newly edit domain example you don't have a one-to-many relationship between contact and organization. You have a one-to-many from organization to contact.

So

value="${contact?.organizations}"

will always be a single item, never a list.

Trying to select/assign multiple organization to a contact will never be valid.
