Can anyone tell me if HubSpot has made any changes related to creating properties of type ENUM? From yesterday, I’ve been getting an error while creating a property in HubSpot for the contact object. I’m creating the property with empty options, and the error I got: {“status”:“error”,“message”:"Property ‘test\_property’ of object type ’ 0- 1’ has no options but options are re (truncated…) ![KPadhiyar_0-1737710625056.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/c/aca28be6c1e411e9d0e9d46df3ed64e3222d9ace.jpeg) ---

Could you please share the complete cURL request? Additionally, please ensure that there are no spaces in the object type, such as ‘0-1’. ---

@AliFawadHassan Thanks for the reply. I’m using PHP package for create property.([GitHub - HubSpot/hubspot-api-php: HubSpot API PHP Client Libraries for V3 version of the API · GitHub](https://github.com/HubSpot/hubspot-api-php)) ```lia-code-sample $request = new HubSpot\Client\Crm\Properties\Model\PropertyCreate\PropertyCreate([ "name" => "test" "label" => "Test" "description" => "Test" "group_name" => "test" "type" => "enumeration" "field_type" => "checkbox" "form_field" => true "options" => [], ]); $service = $hubspot->crm()->properties()->coreApi()->create('contact', $request); ``` ---

Hi @KPadhiyar 👋 For most integration use cases, I generally recommend avoiding HubSpot’s API Client Libraries in favour of interacting with HubSpot APIs via a dedicated HTTP request package. Regardless, based on your example request, I’d recommend [1] making sure the Contact property group name “test” exists in the given HubSpot Portal and [2] defining at least 1 option when creating properties of “enumeration” type. I hope that proves helpful. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. ---

This is the error that I got from HubSpot package. ![KPadhiyar_0-1737713294620.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/0/f0952e42868cdaab1244fc457dfe7cb4b4532b76.png) ---

HubSpot requires at least one option for ENUM-type properties. Try adding options like this[:](https://lihomenu.sg/) “options” =\> [ [“label” =\> “Option 1”, “value” =\> “option\_1”, “displayOrder” =\> 0] ], ---

It looks like the issue is that, HubSpot requires at least one option for ENUM-type properties. Try modifying your request like this[:](https://singaporemalls.sg/plaza-singapore/) “name” =\> “test” “label” =\> “Test”, “description” =\> “Test”, “group\_name” =\> “test”, “type” =\> “enumeration”, “field\_type” =\> “checkbox”, “form\_field” =\> true, “options” =\> [ [ “label” =\> “Option 1”, “value” =\> “option\_1”, “displayOrder” =\> 0 ] ] ]); Adding at least one option should help resolve the error
