Hi there, 
 
I am testing the MultiSelectOptionSet type of custom component and its not working when importing the component: 
 
When I try to import: 
 
 
My manifest: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<manifest>
  <control namespace="SampleNamespace" constructor="fluentdropdowncomponent" version="1.0.0" display-name-key="MultiSelectOptionSetControl" description-key="MultiSelectOptionSetControl description" control-type="standard">
    <external-service-usage enabled="false">
    </external-service-usage>
    <property 
    name="sampleProperty" 
    display-name-key="msosProperty_Display_Key" 
    description-key="msosProperty_Desc_Key" 
    of-type="MultiSelectOptionSet" usage="bound" required="true" />
    <resources>
      <code path="index.ts" order="1"/>
    </resources>
  </control>
</manifest>
During development, all looks good: 
 
 
I would appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction. 
 
Thank you,

    For anyone reading this post, it seems like MultiSelectOptionSet only can be used in Model Driven apps and not in Canvas app. The same component when adding it into a ModelDriven app works fine. 
     
    I ended up using of-type="Object" at the end.
