This is a write-enabled field if you have the appropriate permissions. See also status_code which can be changed in the same way.

Possible values: [Hidden, Loggable and Reportable, Reportable Only]

Example: Loggable and Reportable
status_codestring

The internal code for the status of the object; either:

  • lr for Loggable and Reportable
  • ro for Reportable Only
  • h for Hidden

Possible values: [lr, ro, h]

Example: lr
custom_fields object

An object with Custom Fields for this record. The key is the field ID and the value a description of the field. Additional details here: CustomFields Schema

tip

Updating Custom Field values

When creating or updating an existing object that uses Custom Fields, for example a User record, you can follow this custom_field key structure to update the custom field values. The value field is the only required field for updating a custom field value; other fields such as pname will be ignored.

info

Important: depending on the endpoint, this may only be included in the response if $keys=custom_fields or $keys=$extended was set as a query parameter.

There is also a more compact representation available in most object types, where each custom field value is a separate key in the main object (not under custom_fields).

See the CustomFields Schema page for more detailed information on these topics.

property name* CustomFieldValue

A specific instance (value) of a Custom field for a particular object.

id_attr_typestring

The unique internal ID of this Custom Field definition (same as id field)

Example: 2DDD372DC4D3422D9E73F6DE936C4265
attr_typestring

Datatype of the custom field. The basic types available are:

  • STRING - a variable-length string.
  • CHAR - a fixed-length string. (The value may be padded with spaces.)
  • NUMBER - a floating-point number.
  • INTEGER - an integer (whole number).
  • TIMESTAMP - a date and time, stored in Unix epoch format.
  • DATE - a YYYYMMDD (F8) date.

In addition, most types can be modified with a prefix to indicate whether they are "select lists" (ENUM or enumerated) or "multi-select lists" (M_ENUM) which can take on multiple values.

Strings and char may also have a maximum length specified, such as STRING_100.

Example: STRING_100

valuestring

Value of the custom field for this object. To update the value, see the note on the CustomFields schema page.

Note that when modifying Custom Fields of objects like Users or Projects, only the value key will be checked; other fields like the Custom Field pname will be ignored.
