Setting a dropdown custom field via API by providing the POPT ID

[tibormolnar]

Hi All,

when I create / update a Workfront record via the WF API, I am expected to set the values of custom fields. I wonder what is the best practice method for populating drop-down custom fields.

I know that I can populate the field by providing the "value" of the custom field option, for example:

{
"DE:.Region": "Global"
}

But then, if the value of the parameter option should change in the future, my integration would fail.

Is it possible somehow to populate the custom field by providing the ID of the desired Parameter option (instead its value) to the API?

Thank you,

Tibor
