Updating SharePoint List item Choice Field

I'm trying to update a SharePoint List Item with the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint".

 

I need to update two fields in the list. One is Choice field and the other is a Hyperlink field.

 

If I use this JSON body, it works - it just updates the Hyperlink field, and updates it correctly without errors.

I also want to update a Choice field called "Uploaded" with the value of one of the choices, which is "Uploaded".  So I added this:

 

 

"Uploaded": { "Value": "Uploaded" }

 

 

So it ends up looking like this:

This fails with the error:

What does it want to update a Choice field?  That JSON that updates the Choice field works in a "Update list item" action, but not in the HTTP action.

    Hi @JoeyD 

     

    @creativeopinion mentioned you don't need the Value tag under that choice. That's correct.

     

    Also you don't need the _metadata definition

    It should be:

    {
    "Uploaded": "Uploaded"
    }
