dai.odahara updating picklist values from metadata api
Does anyone know how to update picklist value from metadata api?
I wrote an xml message as followings referring http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/index.htm, but it does not work well.
In this case, with the first picklist values that currentname and fullname are different, it supposed to be updating the picklist value. but on the contrary as result, this picklist would have 3 picklist values -
"next month", "this month", "xxxx".
The value of "this month" is being treated as new picklist value...any clue on this..?

<soapenv:Body>
<update>
<UpdateMetadata>
<currentName>Account.salaryDay__c</currentName>
<metadata xsi:type="ns2:CustomField">
<fullName>Account.salaryDay__c</fullName>
<label>payday</label>
<type>Picklist</type>
<picklist>
<sorted>true</sorted>
<picklistValues>
<currentName>next month</currentName>
<fullName>this month</fullName>
</picklistValues>
<picklistValues>
<currentName>xxxx</currentName>
<fullName>xxxx</fullName>
</picklistValues>
....
</soapenv:Body>
</update>
</UpdateMetadata>

Thank you so much
Following is url for documentation about Picklist Metadata API ...
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/Content/meta_picklist.htm
is there any way to edit picklist value through metadat API .
I am current testing meta data API via SOAP ui and till now I am able to add picklist values .
but can not edit any perticuler picklist value
eg . object : lead
field : number__c
type : picklist
values : 1 , 2
any methode i can edit 1 to 11 ??
If you have any sample SOAP request to update or add picklist in SFDC.
Please send it to me,I am facing problem to wright correct SOAP request.
Thanks in Advance...............
