Enumeration property has no options

[Toni_Atanasov]

I'm performing a GET request to the deals API to fetch the options for a given enumeration field. However, for some fields, the options array is empty. Here's an example:

$response = $hubspot->crm()->properties()->coreApi()->getByName('deals', 'deal_currency_code');

// [
//    "name" => "deal_currency_code",
//    "label" => "Currency",
//    "description" => "Currency code for the deal.",
//    "groupName" => "dealinformation",
//    "type" => "enumeration",
//    "fieldType" => "select",
//    "fieldLevelPermission" => null,
//    "hidden" => false,
//    "createdAt" => 1565059313275,
//    "readOnlyDefinition" => true,
//    "formField" => false,
//    "displayOrder" => -1,
//    "readOnlyValue" => false,
//    "mutableDefinitionNotDeletable" => false,
//    "favorited" => false,
//    "favoritedOrder" => -1,
//    "calculated" => false,
//    "externalOptions" => true,
//    "displayMode" => "current_value",
//    "showCurrencySymbol" => null,
//    "hubspotDefined" => true,
//    "referencedObjectType" => null,
//    "createdUserId" => null,
//    "externalOptionsReferenceType" => null,
//    "searchableInGlobalSearch" => false,
//    "hasUniqueValue" => false,
//    "optionSortStrategy" => null,
//    "numberDisplayHint" => null,
//    "currencyPropertyName" => null,
//    "textDisplayHint" => null,
//    "optionsAreMutable" => null,
//    "searchTextAnalysisMode" => null,
//    "isCustomizedDefault" => false,
//    "updatedUserId" => null,
//    "deleted" => null,
//    "updatedAt" => 1653695115346,
//    "options" => [],
//];

Hey, @AWhyBravo can you share an example request, body, and response? It will be easier to give a concrete answer or solution with a specific example. Thank you! — Jaycee

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I've found that if the request comes back with externalOptions:true then the enumeration values are stored in a different table. If you're just looking for the enumeration values try:

• Currency Code in the Settings API | Currencies (hubspot.com)
• Pipelines + Stages in the CRM API | Pipelines (hubspot.com) 
• Record Owners in the CRM API | Owners (hubspot.com)

Hello, I've encountered this issue with externalOptions as well. If you have any insight into where these enumeration values are and how I can grab them using the api it would be much appreciated!

Currently it is an issue as I need to be able to update enumeration properties with external options and now have no way of knowing what to update on.

Thanks!

Did you get a resolution to this issue? 

I'm tinkering with enum properties in HubSpot as well, and curious as to what you heard back.

Thanks.
