Hello all, welcome back to another exciting Kaizen post!

In Zoho CRM, you have the option to tailor modules according to your organization's unique needs using custom fields. These can be created manually in the module builder or via API.

From Zoho CRM API version 6, you can add custom fields via API using the below endpoint:
POST 
{api-domain}/crm/{version}/settings/fields?module={module_API_name}

From Zoho CRM API version 8, additional field types like multi-select lookups, multi-user lookup additions are also supported.
This article is intended to be a guide on how to create fields through the API.

Single line Field

The single line field is a string field that can store 255 characters, and alphanumeric and special characters. It can be used to store fields like name, company, account name, etc. To create a single line field, give data_type as text. 
A single line field can be marked as an external field. An external field is used to hold a record's unique ID available in an external system.
{
    "fields": [
        {
            "data_type": "text",
            "field_label": "External ID",
            "external": {
                "type": "org",
                "show": true
            }
        }
    ]
}

Multiline Fields

The multi line field is a string field that can be used when you need a larger string field. It accepts alphanumeric and special characters. Multiline fields are of three types: plain text small, plain text large, and rich text field.
Multi-line field type

1) Plain Text Small Field

This type of multi-line field is ideal for concise entries up to 2000 character size. To create a plain text small multi line field, give data_type as textarea and type key in text area JSON object as "small".
{
    "fields": [
        {
            "field_label": "Apartment_details",
            "data_type": "textarea",
            "length" : 2000,
            "textarea": {
                "type": "small"
            }
        }
    ]
}

2) Plain Text Large Field

This type of multi line field is ideal for more extensive entries of up to 32000 character size. To create a plain text large multi line field, give data_type as textarea and type key in text area JSON object as "large".

{
    "fields": [
        {
            "field_label": "Apartment_details",
            "data_type": "textarea",
            "length" : 32000,
            "textarea": {
                "type": "large"
            }
        }
    ]
}

3) Rich text Field

Rich text field is ideal when formatted text needs to be entered. The length of the entry can be up to 50000 characters. To create a plain text large multi line field, give data_type as textarea and type key in text area JSON object as "rich_text"
{
    "fields": [
        {
            "field_label": "Apartment_details",
            "data_type": "textarea",
            "length" : 50000,

            }
        }
    ]
}

Picklist Field

Picklist is a field that lets you choose a value from a set of predefined values. The pick list value accepts all alphanumeric and special characters.
To create a picklist field, give data_type as picklist .Picklist fields have dependent JSON array - pick_list_values.  
  • pick_list_values: This JSON array comprises the options for the picklist field. Inside the array, display_value and actual_values stores the label shown for the picklist value in the CRM UI and the actual internal value of the picklist option respectively.  The colour_code field consists of the color code of the picklist option in hex format, if color code is enabled.
  • enable_colour_code - Boolean value that represents whether color code is enabled for the script
  • history_tracking_enabled -   This key when set as true audit/history tracking for the picklist field is enabled. Users with Module Customization permission can enable picklist history tracking. You can enable tracking for one picklist field per module, and this will be applicable across all layouts.
{
  "fields": [
    {
      "field_label": "Your picklist's field label",
      "data_type": "picklist",
      "enable_colour_code": true,

}

Auto refresh formula field

These type of formula fields are used when you need an accurate time measurement whenever you view the record. The key "dynamic" set as true indicates that the field is an auto refresh formula field.
 For example, the age of a deal can be calculated by comparing the created time of the deal with the current time. A condition can be given to stop computing the value of the auto refresh field. 
  • dynamic: When set as true, indicates that the formula field is an auto refresh field.
  • stop_compute_conditionally:  When set as true, indicates that the computation of field stops when the condition given in stop_compute_expression key
  • stop_compute_expression:  Mandatory when stop_compute_conditionally is true. Consists of the condition for stopping computation of the auto refresh formula field.
{
    "fields": [

            }
        }
    ]
}

User lookup Field

User lookup field is used to associate a specific user to a record of the module. Use "data_type": "userlookup" to add a user lookup field.
The lookup JSON object defines the key properties of the user lookup
  • query_details (JSON object): Defines filters to restrict which users are selectable.
  • criteria: Uses a group of field conditions (field, comparator, value) with a group_operator (AND, OR) to filter users.
  • revalidate_filter_during_edit (Boolean): If true, the criteria is reevaluated on record edit for the value selected on the record creation. This option is useful when associated values or fields have changed due to updates. It allows users to re-check and confirm that the correct records are still linked when editing the record.
  • sharing_properties (JSON object):  Contains details of access given to users
    •  share_preference_enabled (Boolean): If true, enables access to the records for the users.
