CreateCustomFields

Inputs (CreateCustomFieldDto[]) inherits from DtoBase

This method takes an array of CreateCustomFieldDto. It consists of two properties that are vital for creating: BfsEntityBrickId (Guid) and CustomFields (array of CustomField). The BfsEntityBrickId targets the entity you want to create custom fields for, i.e an Account, Legal Entity etc. The CustomFields property is the one you populate with the CustomFields to create.

There is a check in the backend validating the FieldName property. If there exist a CustomField with the same FieldName as the one you attach, it will throw an exception, saying that a CustomField with the same FieldName already exist.
