Choice list items as a JSON array

This example shows storing three choices of a choice list field as JSON formatted text. In this example, the data attribute has an array of three objects as its value. Each object in the array has label and name attributes.

{
    data: [
        {
            label: "Choice Option 1",
            name: "choice_option_1"
            
        }, 
        {
            label: "Choice Option 2",
            name: "choice_option_2"
        }, 
        {	
            label: "Choice Option 3",
            name: "choice_option_3"
        }
    ]
}
