Creating a new Custom Field Value

Request

Creates a new value for the specified custom field. Creating a value can also override existing values, effectively making this an update request as well.

When creating new single or multi choice values that override existing values, note that new values are not added to existing values, but instead replace existing values. Additionally, every new value has a unique, new ID.

This endpoint has its own rate limit. See the Knowledge Base for more information.

Bulk Create or Update

This endpoint supports bulk creating or updating up to 100 objects. In the request body, set the top-level key to its plural form and place the objects in an array. Example:

{
  "custom_field_values": [
    {
      "subject_type": "Workspace",
      "subject_id": 123,
      "custom_field_id": 456,
      "value": "Hello world"
    },
    {
      "subject_type": "Workspace",
      "subject_id": 123,
      "custom_field_id": 789,
      "value": "Hello world"
    }
  ]
}

This endpoint returns structured Custom Field Value objects. As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the results array and will be indexed by ID in the custom_field_values top-level JSON key. Please see our Response Format section for more information.

Query
includestring

Any of the below associations can be included in your request by providing the include param, e.g. include=association1,association2.

  • custom_field (CustomField) - Retrieves the custom field the value is for. The response will include custom_field_id, which references the data in the custom_fields top-level key.
  • external_references (ExternalReference) - Includes references to external integrations for this object.
  • selected_choices (CustomFieldChoice) - Retrieves the custom field choice that corresponds to the custom field value. The response will include selected_choice_ids, which references the data in the custom_field_choices top-level key.
  • setter (User) - Retrieves the user that set the custom field value. The response will include setter_id, which references the data in the users top-level key.
  • subject (polymorphic) - Retrieves the object which the custom field value is for. The response will include subject_ref, which references the data in the top-level key specified in the key field of subject_ref. The possible objects are as follows:
  • Estimate
