Description

This message enables you to edit custom fields for an existing customer or supplier. You do not need to specify if the contact is a customer or supplier. The fields available to a contact are defined from within the application and cannot be altered here (but you can get a list of them with a custom field metadata GET request).

You can use a single PATCH call to execute a batch of operations. Please refer to the HTTP PATCH documentation for a more detailed explanation of the operations and syntax of HTTP PATCH.

If successful, this endpoint returns the new state of the contacts's custom fields as if you had performed a custom field GET.

Example

Updating Contact 513: replace PCF_BESTALBUM value, add PCF_DEBUTALBUM value.
