Hi everyone,

By reading the doc here: [https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/select#options-via-api](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/select#options-via-api)

The api endpoint should return an array

> as shown above in the manual option setting

But there is no such array example.  
Can someone shows me what should like a json response to fit the options, because my json array gives me an error :

```auto
[
2020,
2021,
2022,
2023,
2024
]

```
