API ZOHO CRM Picket list with wrong values

API ZOHO CRM Picket list with wrong values

I am using Zoho API v.8. with python to create records in a custom module named "Veranstaltung" in this custom module I've got a picket list called "Email_Template" with 28 Values. I've added 8 new values yesterday, but if I try to use on of those values when creating a new "Veranstaltung" it throws me the following error:
  1.  UNACCEPTED VALUES ERROR - {"field": "Email_Template", "class": "Record", "given-value": "Jahresauftakt - Zukunft - A1 Frame", "accepted_values": ["-None-", "Kongress - Erstes Mal - A1 Frame", "Kongress - Erstes Mal - A1 Plain", "Kongress - Erstes Mal - T1 Frame", "Kongress - Erstes Mal - T1 Plain", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - A1 Frame", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - A1 Plain", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - A2 Frame", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - A2 Plain", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - T1 Frame", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - T1 Plain", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - T2 Frame", "Kongress - Vergangenheit - T2 Plain", "Kongress - Zukunft - A1 Frame", "Kongress - Zukunft - A1 Plain", "Kongress - Zukunft - A2 Frame", "Kongress - Zukunft - A2 Plain", "Kongress - Zukunft - T1 Frame", "Kongress - Zukunft - T1 Plain", "Kongress - Zukunft - T2 Frame", "Kongress - Zukunft - T2 Plain"], "index": 0}

Using Postman with Metadata API v8 / Fields Meta it shows me that all values are available in the API
