This method takes an array of UpdateCustomFieldDto. It consists of two properties that are vital for updating: BfsEntityBrickId (Guid) and CustomFields (array of CustomField). The BfsEntityBrickId targets the entity you want to update custom fields for, i.e an Account, Legal Entity etc. The CustomFields property is the one you populate the CustomFields to update. How does the system know what custom field to target/update? By looking at the FieldName property on each custom field. The FieldName property should match with the FieldName of the custom field in the database you would like to update.

Info
If the system does not find a matching FieldName (FieldName on custom field in database and FieldName on custom field you attach) it will throw an exception: FieldNameNotFoundException.
