API to Update Multiple Choice Options

Does anyone know how to update the options list in a multiple choice field using API? The sample request given on the RESTful JSON API Guide does not include the options list.

I tried using 
{"#options": "OK"}​

but get Status Code: 400:

{
  "message": "Bad request",
  "description": "extraneous key [#options] is not permitted"
}

    FYI, I looked under field types at the "create schema" for multiple choice and tried this based on the sample data given:

     {"properties": {
   "choices": [
      "OK",
      "NOK",
      "N/A"
    ]}
 }

    and it worked.

      This is great for one field at at time, but do you have any suggestions on how to do this for many fields in one pass?
