1. How to update property type “multiple checkbox” through API in Node JS ?

Code:

Spoiler

const data = {  
“properties”: [  
{  
“product\_lines”:[‘Silver’, ‘Gold’]  
}  
]};

const updatedDealInfo = await hubspotClient.crm.deals.basicApi.update(dealId, data, idProperty);  
console.log(JSON.stringify(updatedDealInfo, null, 2));

--- getting below error when trying to update the property ---

Invalid input JSON on line 1, column 15: Cannot deserialize value of type `java.util.LinkedHashMap\<java.lang.String,java.lang.String\>` from Array value (token `JsonToken.START_ARRAY`)’

can someone please help on this ?

Hey @malayan,

There are a couple of issues with your code. The first one is that your JSON string is wrapped in brackets - “[]” which is causing HubSpot to parse it as an array which it does not expect.

In addition to this when it comes to updating enumeration properties you must include a string separated by a semi-colon. “;”. The code below is an example of how you would update a custom Deal property “Favourite Colour” using the Node Client:

```lia-code-sample
const hubspot = require('@hubspot/api-client');
const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({ "accessToken": process.env.HUBSPOTTOKEN });

exports.main = async (event) => {

 const dealId = event.object.objectId;
 const data = {
 "properties": {
 "favourite_colours": 'Red;Green'
 }
 };

 try {
 const apiResponse = await hubspotClient.crm.deals.basicApi.update(dealId, data);
 console.log('SUCCESS: ' + JSON.stringify(apiResponse, null, 2));
 } catch (e) {
 e.message === 'HTTP request failed' ?
 console.error('ERROR: ' + JSON.stringify(e.response, null, 2)) : console.error('ERROR: ' + e)
 }

}

```

Resulting in:

I believe updating your code to the below will fix your issues:

```lia-code-sample
const data = {
 "properties": {
 "product_lines": 'Silver;Gold'
 }
 };

const updatedDealInfo = await hubspotClient.crm.deals.basicApi.update(dealId, data, idProperty);
console.log(JSON.stringify(updatedDealInfo, null, 2));

```

Hope this helps! 😊

Hi @coldrickjack ,

Thanks for the quick response. This was really helpfull.

Instead of lable I used “Internal Value” it worked

const data = {  
“properties”: {  
“product\_lines”: ‘125--Silver;115--Gold’  
}  
};

Thanks @coldrickjack .
