How to add options to existing field via client script

I'm wanting to add a "Not Applicable" as a dropdown option in two fields within a catalogue item. The two fields are:

The options for the two fields are specified in the following screenshots:

I've tried adding the 'Not Applicable' option in those two fields by using the below client script:

However, when I use this, it doesn't display the 'Not Applicable' option in both fields. If somebody could explain what I need to do to get that option field showing in both fields, that would be great.

AddOption works only for select box variables or choice type fields

Reference fields display records from a table, so your table(s) would need to have a record with the name 'Not Applicable' to be captured by a qualifier and shown with the other records from the table.
