Creating a Contact with Properties with Multiple answers json API

[Esco_Developers]

Good Evening, 

Is it possible using the API to bullk update contacts with properties that are multi check box with more than one option. For example a custom property has been created which is multiselect checkbox with 5 options and I wish to update the contact with 4 out of the possible 5. The https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/contacts/batch_create_or_update document shows the basics but just wanted an example of the json structure for the multiple properties.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Esco_Developers 

I would try separating the values with a semicolons.

;value 1; value 2; value 3

I've read somewhere that the semicolon at the start appends the values and no semi colon at the start replaces the values BUT it's worth testing.

Have fun
