Hi, is it possible to add new values in a Multiple Checkboxes with an API patch call ?

https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/contacts/{id} {json string}

For example, I have only one choice in a MC field of an existing contact: “Value 1”

I want to update the MC and add and select 2 new values : “;Value 2;Value 3”

Thanks

Hi, @IT_CREO :waving_hand: Did you make any progress here?

If not, this one should be pretty easy to test. Can you share your request, response, and the error returned (if any), please?

Best,

Hi @IT_CREO

No this can’t be done using API. If you update value1 then it will override the options. It will not append the new value.

Hey, @IT_CREO! @GRajput is correct. The only other option would be to send the original value to “preserve” — “Value 1;Value 2;Value 3”

Thanks Jaycee & Rajput,

I created a Multiple Checkboxes field with the main items my users need for the worflows. The backoffice server pushes items related to the internal value of MC.
For unrelated backoffice items, I created a second field defined as Multiline Text, but for display purposes.
