Options that are not passed will be removed. As a result, these values will be removed from any organizations.\n- To create a new option, pass a null `id` along with `name` and `value`.\n- To update an existing option, pass its `id` along with `name` and `value`.\n- To re-order an option, reposition it in the `custom_field_options` array relative to the other options.\n- To remove an option, omit it from the list of options upon update.\n\n#### Example Request\n\n```bash\ncurl https://{subdomain}.zendesk.com/api/v2/user_fields/{user_field_id}.json \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -X PUT \\\n  -d '{\"user_field\": {\"custom_field_options\": [{\"id\": 124, \"name\": \"Option 2\", \"value\": \"option_2\"}, {\"id\": 123, \"name\": \"Option 1\", \"value\": \"option_1\"}, {\"id\": 125, \"name\": \"Option 2\", \"value\": \"option_3\"}]}}' \\\n  -v -u {email_address}:{password}\n```\n#### Allowed for\n\n* Admins\n"
