Custom field configuration update through API

[-gytis-]

Is it possible to update the custom field configuration through API and, if yes, how to do this?

We are looking for the possibility to assign company value to Lansweeper discovered assets.
For that purpose we created a custom field type of Dropdown and named it "Company".

Now we are looking for the possibility to upload all possible options (list of companies) through API from another system (and update it periodically).

Is this approach is reasonable and feasible? Could you please advise how to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your question! If I understand correctly, it sounds like you're looking to automate the creation of new custom fields. Unfortunately, that specific action isn't possible within Lansweeper at this time.

However, if you're aiming to automate adding values to an existing custom field, that is something you can do! Check out this Pro Tip which explains how to achieve that

Hi David,

Many thanks for the response.
Indeed my question was about updating custom fields definition (not field values, but field option values for the dropdown type of field).

It's a pity that it isn't possible within Lansweeper at this time.
