Custom Field Definitions: Creates a new invoice custom field definition.
POST
/api/invoicing/custom-field-definitions
deprecated
Requires: Invoicing.CustomFieldDefinitions, Invoicing.CustomFieldDefinitions.Create, merchant scope.
A biller holds at most 20 definitions, active and inactive alike. Deactivating a definition does not free a slot; deleting one does. The key is unique per biller, compared case-insensitively: `po_number` and `PO_Number` are the same key. Inactive definitions hold their key; a deleted definition's key can be reused. The key cannot be changed after creation.
Signed in, you can send this request to your own sandbox merchant from the console and read the answer. Sign in to try it.
Example request
Every block below sends the same request. Replace {{BASE_URL}} with the address of the API you are calling and {{API_KEY}} with your own key.
The request body is a InvoiceCustomFieldDefinitionCreateDto. See the Request body section below for its fields.

409 The biller already holds the maximum number of custom field definitions (`Invoicing:CustomFieldDefinition:LimitReached`), or a definition with this key, compared case-insensitively, already exists for the biller (`Invoicing:CustomFieldDefinition:KeyAlreadyExists`); for the latter the error's `data.key` holds the stored spelling of the key it collided with.

default The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. See the error-code reference in this document's description for the values `error.code` can take.

429 The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.

error reference lists every value
error.code can carry and shows the four response shapes.
