API POST a new record which has a LookUP field that we want just post text to that is not linked.

API POST a new record which has a LookUP field that we want just post text to that is not linked.

We are looking to be able to insert a record through an API and we have one field that is a LookUp type, however we know that the item is not in the associated table (and we do not want to add it to the associated table), how can we add the record through the Json API Call where the Lookup data is just text

Do you just set the ID to -1 and Name: To the Text ,   let me know how this can be accomplished.

Thanks

Bob
