Hi @cyberpolito

If I got it right, you are asking about Multiple options custom field for a Deal, something like this

In this case, you have two options to add new options to the field:

Step 1. Find custom field id from a list of fields GET /dealFields
Step 2. Update custom field options PUT /dealFields/<custom field id> https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/DealFields/put_dealFields_id

So request body, might look like this

{
    "options": [
       {
         "label": "option1"
       }
     ]
}

Keep in mind that “options” will be re-written for that field, meaning in case if you want to keep old options and add a new one, you need to send them all in update request, otherwise, only options specified in the request body will be set to that field.

@cyberpolito to rename an option you would need to do the same, meaning you can not update/delete only one specific option, instead call PUT /dealFields/<id> with options you need.

In order to keep IDs for your existing options, you need to send them as well, for example

{
   "options": [
       { "label": "my existing option but it has a new label", "id": "28" },
       { "label": "my new option" }
   ]
}
