Hey guys, I am starting with Fibery and have the following issue. When I connect in Make and want to map the single select field I always get an error. Even if the value exists. This is the error message: ![CleanShot 2023-01-24 at 14.53.48@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/7/7a4a9ad22df749a193d6f193bc74131df476b4b4.png) Am I missing something? ---

A select field (single- or multi-) is actually a relation to a (hidden) database, so when you want to update it, you need to send the UUID of the entity, not its name. ---

Thanks for the clarification. Can we get the fields or update them? Or how do we make this work? ---

I already am using this script. Works great 👍🏻 but am not able to update a single select from Make. ---

@Chr1sG, is it not possible to update the options (entities) of a Single/Multi-Select, by using its internal DB name? ---

Sorry, yes, using a script, it is possible with this construction: fibery.updateEntity(entity.type, entity.id, {selectFieldName : optionName}); In make, you should be able to directly access/update a select field: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/b/bcde65bdd3d291b7ea417cbaf8a25035611789fd.png) @StevenSkillit can you clarify what you are attempting, how you’re trying, and what fails. ---

I have a automation in Make which imports contacts from our ads. In the single select we use this to group our ads. I also have a single select for the countries in our CRM. So there are a couple of ways I would like to implement this. But had no succes with the single select. ---

So, if you’re using the map option in make to update a select value based on data from a previous step in the scenario, then you need to pass the ID value, not a text string. In order to do this, you will need an intermediate step in your Make scenario that gets the ID from the string value. This could be a dictionary-lookup type step (hardcoded values) or it could be an API call that queries Fibery each time. The former would be easier/quicker, but not as robust. For example, if a new option is added to the list, or options were renamed, you would need to revisit your scenario. ---

Thanks for the info. Just one more question, how can I set it up with the API?
