Note
This method is work in progress.

The present method lets you set the available options of a custom field.

...

List of strings: Most field types only allow to configure a list of strings. This concerns fields Combo, ComboEditable and ComboMultiSelect.
List of strings with meta data: Fields of type ComboAuto are like regular pick lists but with a nice twist: You can also specify a list of strings but also add meta-data to each string. Read more.

URL

Code Block
(POSTPUT) /api/settings/customfields/{id}/options/items

...

The URL has these parameters:

id

The unique ID of the custom field. Easily find all your fields' IDs with: settings/customfields

Note: The ID is of the following format. The first number identifies the object to which the field relates (such as project, job, person, segment, etc.). The second number is a sequential field number.
