Half of your code does nothing useful

result.data.map((item: string) => item) will do nothing
using map when not returning anything inside it is pointless. At very least use forEach instead. or even better....

You should use map with concat:

interface LocalIds {
    value: string;
    label: string;
}

const localIds = [
    { value: 'test', label: 'test' },
    { value: 'test2', label: 'test2' },
];

localIds.push({ label: 'abc', value: 'abc' });
const finalLocalIds = localIds.concat( result.data.map((i: string) => ({value:i,label:i})) );

Try fixing last line as following

replace ; with , and remove [] at the end

localIdentifiers.map(i => localIds.push(...localIds, {value:i,label:i}));

also, you dont need ...localIds, since it will duplicate current array every time element is pushed to array
