Hi Sean,
you can set pick fields to active, if you list them in your command.
The other way round: pick fields are set to inactive, if you don't list them.
E.g.: Field "my test field" with pick values "green" (0), "yellow" (1) and "red" (2)
The command
im edit field --picks=green:0:none,red:2:none "my test field"
sets the picks "green" and "red" to active, and sets "yellow" to inactive.
The syntax for the --picks-option is: <text>:<value>:<image>,...
