Option Types (Partial Update)
Description
Creates or updates an option type identified by the uuid or externalId in the request body.
If the identifier matches an existing option type, it is updated. If not, a new option type is created (upsert behavior). Omitted fields are left unchanged on update, or set to their defaults on creation.
See the Aerial Spec for more details.

Columns
Nested object fields are flattened into columns using dot notation (parent.child). Array fields are flattened using zero-based index notation, one element per column (field[0], field[1], and so on).
Note: A whole array cannot be passed in a single column: a literal value such as ['value-1','value-2'] will be rejected. To import multiple array elements, add one indexed column per element. Rows in the table below with type array describe the field as a whole and are not valid CSV column headers.
| Column Header | Description | Key Information | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
uuid | UUID of the resource that can be expressed using a value as defined in its types. | string | No | |
externalId | External ID of the resource that can be expressed using “SET_AS_NULL” (to reset the existing value) or a value as defined in its types. | string | No | |
displayStyle | Display style of the option type that can be expressed using “SET_AS_NULL” (to reset the existing value) or a value as defined in its types. | Allowed: text, color, image | string | No |
sortOrder | A number to indicate the order this option type should be sorted relative to other option types that can be expressed using “SET_AS_NULL” (to reset the existing value) or a value as defined in its types. | integer | No | |
localizedData | A collection of Localizations of the option type that can be expressed using “SET_AS_NULL” (to reset all existing values) or a value as defined in its types. | Not a CSV column header. Pass each array element in its own indexed column (localizedData[0], localizedData[1], and so on). | array | No |
localizedData[0] | Array element | mixed | No | |
localizedData[0].languageCode | Language code of localization that can be expressed using a value as defined in its types. | string | Yes | |
localizedData[0].name | Localized option type name that can be expressed using a value as defined in its types. | string | No | |
localizedData[0].presentation | Localized option type presentation that can be expressed using a value as defined in its types. | string | No |
Sample CSV
See the following optionTypes CSV sample file.
Note: The sample CSV may contain sample ID fields which reference other resources that do not match the data in your environment. You may omit any non-required fields from the sample CSV, reference the table above for required fields.
