I see that it is possible to retriece the values for a dropdown property via API. Is it possible to add dropdown property values via API?

@TheLastEmperawr - the answers are yes and yes. Take a look at the [Properties API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api-reference/legacy/crm/properties/guide).

One note - to update a dropdown, you must supply all values, not just incremental additions.

Good luck!
