I’m performing a GET request to the deals API to fetch the options for a given enumeration field. However, for some fields, the options array is empty. Here’s an example:

$response = $hubspot->crm()->properties()->coreApi()->getByName('deals', 'deal_currency_code');

// [
// "name" => "deal_currency_code",
// "label" => "Currency",
// "description" => "Currency code for the deal.",
// "groupName" => "dealinformation",
// "type" => "enumeration",
// "fieldType" => "select",
// "fieldLevelPermission" => null,
// "hidden" => false,
// "createdAt" => 1565059313275,
// "readOnlyDefinition" => true,
// "formField" => false,
// "displayOrder" => -1,
// "readOnlyValue" => false,
// "mutableDefinitionNotDeletable" => false,
// "favorited" => false,
// "favoritedOrder" => -1,
// "calculated" => false,
// "externalOptions" => true,
// "displayMode" => "current_value",
// "showCurrencySymbol" => null,
// "hubspotDefined" => true,
// "referencedObjectType" => null,
// "createdUserId" => null,
// "externalOptionsReferenceType" => null,
// "searchableInGlobalSearch" => false,
// "hasUniqueValue" => false,
// "optionSortStrategy" => null,
// "numberDisplayHint" => null,
// "currencyPropertyName" => null,
// "textDisplayHint" => null,
// "optionsAreMutable" => null,
// "searchTextAnalysisMode" => null,
// "isCustomizedDefault" => false,
// "updatedUserId" => null,
// "deleted" => null,
// "updatedAt" => 1653695115346,
// "options" => [],
//];

Did you get a resolution to this issue?
I’m tinkering with enum properties in HubSpot as well, and curious as to what you heard back.
Thanks.

Hi Dharmesh, thanks for building such a great product!
Did your team find a solution to this issue? We (unifygtm.com - automated warm outbound) are building a native HubSpot integration and our goal is that it works seamlessly.
Without this API, we cannot show our customers the options that they see in HubSpot but we must default to a free string field resulting in a worse user experience.

Best,

Fabian

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I’ve found that if the request comes back with **externalOptions:**true then the enumeration values are stored in a different table. If you’re just looking for the enumeration values try:

Hello, I’ve encountered this issue with externalOptions as well. If you have any insight into where these enumeration values are and how I can grab them using the api it would be much appreciated!
Currently it is an issue as I need to be able to update enumeration properties with external options and now have no way of knowing what to update on.
Thanks!

Hey, @AWhyBravo can you share an example request, body, and response? It will be easier to give a concrete answer or solution with a specific example. Thank you! — Jaycee
