1. Picklist Fields
When sending picklist values to the Rest API, the picklist value “Name” must be used.
Example: if we have a “Country” picklist field with the following picklist values: (Label=“Lebanon”, Name=”Lebanon”), (Label=“France”, Name=”France”), (Label=“United Arab Emirates”, Name=”United_Arab_Emirates”), the picklist value to send to the API is “Lebanon”, “France” or “United_Arab_Emirates”.
2. Multi-Picklist Fields
When sending multi-picklist values to the Rest API, the multi-picklist value “Name” must be used. If we want to send multiple values, the multi-picklist values Name must be separated by a comma.
Example: if we have a “Visited Countries” multi-picklist field with the following values: (Label=“Lebanon”, Name=”Lebanon”), (Label=“France”, Name=”France”), (Label=“United Arab Emirates”, Name=”United_Arab_Emirates”), and we want to set the multi-picklist field value to the values “France” and “United Arab Emirates”, the field value to send to the API is “France,United_Arab_Emirates”.
