Hi Luri

Probably the best approach to creating new options (and adding to a
optionset) is:

1. Create UIDs for every option (/api/system/id?limit=100)
2. Create all your options { "id": "generated-uid", "name": "option-name",
"code": "option-code" }
3. Add or create your option set { "id": "existing-uid, generated-uid, or
null to let the system create", "name": "optionset-name", "valueType":
"wanted value type", "options": [your options]
4. Wrap this in the correct payload (see below) and send to /api/metadata
with correct content-type (application/json)

{
  "options": [
    { "id": "id1", "name": "Male", "code": "M" },
    { "id": "id2", "name": "Female", "code": "F" }
  ],
  "optionSets": [
    {
      "id": "id if you have it",
      "name": "optionset-name",
      "valueType": "optionset-value-type",
      "options": [{"id":"id1"},{"id":"id2"}]
    }
  ]
}
