This is useful for maintaining and customizing contact data fields to better fit business needs, such as updating the display name or changing selectable options for properties like dropdowns or multi-select fields.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the label and description of a contact property to better reflect its purpose.
  2. Modifying the options of a select or multi-select contact property using either individual fields or a JSON array.

Troubleshooting

  • If using JSON for options, ensure the JSON is well-formed and matches the expected structure (array of objects with value, label, and optional description).
  • API errors will include status codes and messages; check these for guidance on resolving issues.
