'Selecting a value for Multi Select field in Zoho CRM

My multi select field has already selection of data. I am trying to run an automation function where it can automatically select the data inside the field already. For my case, i have a multi select field for gender consisting for {male;female}

In my function, after running an if else statement by checking on a digit value, it stores the value of selection

if ( lastdigit.isOdd() == True )
{
gender = "Male";
}
else
{
gender = "female";
}

    update = Map();
    update.put("Gender", gender);
    resp = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", Contact_ID, update);
    info resp;

but the value of gender multi select field has not been select as either male nor female

In Zoho, multiselect field value is in List Data type, while in your current code it seems it is String format. Your script should be;

gender_value_as_list = List();
if ( lastdigit.isOdd() == True )
{
    gender_value_as_list.add("Male"); //Make sure Male is in correct spelling in multiselect
}
else
{
    gender_value_as_list.add("Female"); //Make sure Female is in correct spelling in multiselect
}

update = Map();
update.put("Gender", gender_value_as_list);//Make sure Gender is in correct api name for multiselect
resp = zoho.crm.updateRecord("Contacts", Contact_ID, update);
info resp;
