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
Each example below is one request, shown in every language. Choose an example and a language, then 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.

This response has no documented body fields.
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.

This response has no documented body fields.
- 400 Bad Request The request is not valid: the key is missing or too long, the biller is empty, or a field rule is malformed.
- 401 Unauthorized Unauthorized. The request carried no API key or signed-in session, or the key it carried is invalid, revoked or expired.
- 403 Forbidden Forbidden. The API key lacks the scope this operation needs, the signed-in user lacks the permission, or a business rule refused the request. The error code in the body names the reason.
- 404 Not Found Not found. The resource the request names does not exist or is not visible to the caller: a resource that belongs to a merchant or tenant outside the caller's scope is reported as not found.
- 409 Conflict 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.
- 500 Internal Server Error Internal server error. The platform failed unexpectedly while handling the request. If it keeps failing, contact support and quote the correlation id, which the response carries in the `X-Correlation-Id` header and as `error.data.correlationId`.
- 501 Not Implemented Not implemented. The operation is declared but has no implementation on this deployment, so no request to it can succeed. Retrying does not help.
- 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. The error reference lists the values `error.code` can take.The request failed.
