Error when posting to multiple checkbox contact field via Properties API

I’m attempting to post to two multiple checkbox fields using the Properties API (see my previous question here).

When I run the below script as part of my full contacts update script, I am getting a validation error. The option I am trying to save to the multiple checkbox does not exist: “message”:"b0e3726b-7fed-4e61-8e66-702a45416813 was not one of the allowed options.

I’m pretty sure I’m missing something obvious :slightly_smiling_face:

<?php

$allTeamGuids = array();

function addTeamGUIDtoGUIDProperties($guids){

 //update properties
 //PUT /properties/v1/contacts/properties/named/:property_name

 $properties = array('active_team_guids', 'allteamguids');

 foreach($properties as $property){

 $update_property_url = 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/properties/contacts/'.$property.'?hapikey=' . HS_API_KEY;

 $ch = curl_init();

 $update_property_json = array(

 "name" => $property,
 "groupName" => "app_data",
 "description" => "",
 "fieldType" => "checkbox",
 "formField" => false,
 "type" => "enumeration",
 "displayOrder" => '',
 "label" => $property,
 'options' => array(

 );

 foreach($guids as $guid) {

 array_push($update_property_json['options'], $guid);
 }

 $update_property_json = json_encode($update_property_json);

 /* echo '<pre>';
 print_r( $update_property_json );
 echo '</pre>'; */

} catch(Exception $e){
	die('Error');

@IParsons :waving_hand:

Throwing @MichaelC at this. He is a pretty smart fellow :grinning_face:

@IParsons

Have you tried using PATCH instead of PUT when updating a property?

See documentation here: Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot

Thanks, @MichaelC, my script ran perfectly - 200s all the way.
