Set option 'Name' via REST

Posted on by 685

Hi,

Is there a way to update an option in a field using just the text instead of the value via REST. 

For example: the options in the field with the corresponding values are:

Value=1; Name=2015

Value=2; Name=2016

Value=3; Name=2017

So I want to send just 2017 and have it update the field accordingly but it gives me an error saying it wants the value (e.g. 3). Problem is I only have the name. What is the best way around this? 

Thanks,

Richard
