Vault API Help Link:

https://developer.veevavault.com/api/21.1/#create-picklist-values

Example Request:

updatePicklistValueLabel

public PicklistValueResponse updatePicklistValueLabel(String picklistName,
                                                      Map<String,String> mapPicklists)

Change a picklist value label (only)
Use caution when editing picklist labels or names. When these attributes are changed, they affect all existing document and object metadata that refer to the picklist. For users in the UI who are accustomed to seeing a particular selection, the changes may cause confusion. This may also break existing integrations that access picklist values via the API.

Parameters:

picklistName - The picklist name field value

mapPicklists - Map of new picklist values

Returns:

PicklistValueResponse

Vault API Endpoint:

 PUT /api/{version}/objects/picklists/{picklist_name}

Vault API Help Link:

https://developer.veevavault.com/api/21.1/#update-picklist-value-label

Example Request:

 PicklistValueResponse resp = vaultClient.newRequest(PicklistRequest.class).updatePicklistValueLabel(picklistName, newPicklistValues);

Example Response:

System.out.println(resp.getResponseStatus());

updatePicklistValue

public VaultResponse updatePicklistValue(String picklistName,
                                         String picklistValueName,
                                         String newName)

Update Picklist Value - Name
Change a picklist value name. Use caution when editing picklist value names. When you change a picklist value name, it may affect existing document and object metadata that refer to the picklist. This may also break existing integrations that access picklist values via the API.

picklistValueName - The picklist value name field value (north_america__c, south_america__c, etc.)
