Create variants of products with null option_value label using BigCommerce v3 API

I am using Bigcommerce v3 API to create products on bigcommerce store. I have a product with two variants having following options

Size                 Self Life      Dot info
1L Glass Amber       
500ml Glass Amber    12           Methanol Sol.

When I am trying to create product like this 

{
  "name": "Product name",
  "type": "physical",
  "sku": "CDID-12345",
  "description": "Description",
  "weight": 0,
  "width": 0,
  "depth": 0,
  "height": 0,
  "price": 0,
  "cost_price": 0,
  "retail_price": 0,
  "sale_price": 0,
  "categories": [1],
  "variants": [
    {
      "cost_price": 0,
      "price": 0,
      "weight": 0,
      "sku": "MP091236",
      "option_values": [
        {
          "option_display_name": "Size",
          "label": "1L Glass Amber",
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "cost_price": 0,
      "price": 0,
      "weight": 0,
      "sku": "MP091239",
      "option_values": [
        {
          "option_display_name": "Size",
          "label": "500ml Glass Amber",
        },
        {
          "option_display_name": "Self Life",
          "label": "12",
        },
        {
          "option_display_name": "Dot Info",
          "label": "Methanol Sol.",
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

then I am getting error:

Variants must have the the same list option display names.

And when I am passing parameters like this:

{
  "name": "Product name",
  "type": "physical",
  "sku": "CDID-12345",
  "description": "Description",
  "weight": 0,
  "width": 0,
  "depth": 0,
  "height": 0,
  "price": 0,
  "cost_price": 0,
  "retail_price": 0,
  "sale_price": 0,
  "categories": [1],
  "variants": [
    {
      "cost_price": 0,
      "price": 0,
      "weight": 0,
      "sku": "MP091236",
      "option_values": [
        {
          "option_display_name": "Size",
          "label": "1L Glass Amber",
        },
        {
          "option_display_name": "Self Life",
          "label": "",
        },
        {
          "option_display_name": "Dot Info",
          "label": "",
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "cost_price": 0,
      "price": 0,
      "weight": 0,
      "sku": "MP091239",
      "option_values": [
        {
          "option_display_name": "Size",
          "label": "500ml Glass Amber",
        },
        {
          "option_display_name": "Self Life",
          "label": "12",
        },
        {
          "option_display_name": "Dot Info",
          "label": "Methanol Sol.",
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

then I am getting error like this:

"variants.0.option_values.1.label": "label must be a string"

How can I create two SKUs of this product where one will have options Size , Self Life and Dot info and other having Size as only option.

In this case seems like you want Self Life and be Dot Info as non required modifiers instead rather than as options

Basically you will create 2 variants each having option values as shown below on above endpoint

"variants": [
{
   ...
    "option_values": [
    {
      "option_display_name": "Size",
      "label": "1L Glass Amber",
    }
  ]
}
{
    ...
    "option_values": [
    {
      "option_display_name": "Size",
      "label": "500ml Glass Amber",
    }
  ]
}

and then create 2 modifiers (one with display_name: Self Life other with display_name: Dot Info) by posting twice on v3/catalog/products//modifiers
