Updating a choice field using web api

Posted on by MH-02091453-0 125

Hi, I am trying to update a choice field using the web api but keep getting error.

 

My table has a column 'new_levels' and i want the user to be able to update this field from a dropdown.  I have the dropdown working correctly but when I try the put it keeps giving errors and I am not sure why.  I had a similar issue with a yes/no field ...to solve this i change their values to true/false instead of yes/no and it work...so i tried to change values of my choice to 100000000, etc but it still wont accept the update.

 

error shows

    PATCH
