Can any please explain me how to add multiple items to the multilist field. For me only last item is getting selected. 

$item.Editing.BeginEdit()
$allItems = Get-ChildItem -Path '/sitecore/content/ListManagerTask' -Recurse
foreach($multilistItem in $allItems) { $item[$templateField.Name] += $multilistItem.ID; } 
$item.Editing.EndEdit() | Out-Null`

I want to assign all items in $allItems to multilist.

This is how i'm getting

You haven't added any | character to split the IDs of selected items. This works:

$item.Editing.BeginEdit() 

$allItems = Get-ChildItem -Path '/sitecore/content/ListManagerTask' -Recurse

foreach($multilistItem in $allItems) { 
    if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($item[$templateField.Name])) {
        $item[$templateField.Name] += "|";
    }
    $item[$templateField.Name] += $multilistItem.ID.ToString()
} 

$item.Editing.EndEdit() | Out-Null

    Wow -- I was just looking for the same thing today... I found it more efficient to build the string and then do the assignment once rather than continuously editing the item – Mike Jul 12 '19 at 15:06
  • Item is edited only once. It's the field value which is updated multiple times. But you're right. It could be more efficient to build the string first and then assign it to the field value. – Marek Musielak Jul 12 '19 at 15:59
