Delete Field Options from Custom Field API

Ask a question

Hi all

I have some Dropdown custom fields, where i update the possible value with the api/3/fieldOption/bulk endpoint.
But how on earth do I delete a value from this fields optionlist?

I am not talking about deleting a value from a contact with api/3/fieldValues/id
But the options set on the field itself, that provides the dropdownlist on a contact.

Best regards
Brian

Hi Brian, Abbie from ActiveCampaign here - I think this possible with a few different calls, depending on what actions you would like to take.

I would recommend first using the bulk import contacts call to remove the value from contacts. After the contacts are clear, you can remove the option via API by using the update a custom field call - you will want to exclude the option you want to remove to update the field and effectively delete the option from your account.
