There are generally 3 apis you should be aware of when working with combo values. Each API covers slightly different use cases. Those use cases are outlined in this document.

CRUD on combo values

This is the most general use case, where you don’t care about the combo values for specific cases and want to manage which combo values are available.

This requires the Editor_SystemTools_Metadata role.

There are 6 endpoints to be aware of here. These should feel natural if you have worked with REST before.

`id`	int	A language-independent id for this combo value.
`optionValue`	string	A language-independent string value for this combo value.
`sortIndex`	int	A value indicating how this node should be sorted in relation to all other combo value.
`metaFieldId`	int	The metafield id of the metafield this combo value belongs to.
`itemId`	int	The itemId of the combo value.
`itemGuid`	string/guid/uuid	The itemGuid of the combo value.
`labels`	dictionary	The translations of this combo value. The key is the languageId.
`labels.label`	string	The title/name/label of the combo value in this language.
`labels.languageId`	int	The language id of this translation.
