UPDATE query with variable number of OR conditions in WHERE

I am building an UPDATE query at run-time and one of the fields I want to
include in the WHERE condition may repeat several times, I do not know how
many.

UPDATE table1
SET field1 = "some value"
WHERE (field2 = value_1 OR field2 = value_2 OR .....OR field2 = value_n)

I build such a query using a programming language and, after that, I
execute it. Is this a good approach to build such a query?
