Updated to version 5.2.0
Updating custom fields via API was solved.

But there's another issue, we cannot create custom field with a same name on 2 different users ? (screenshot attached)
We're trying to create custom field "Visitor ID" on two different users.
Keep getting "The name has already been taken." :confused:

Can anyone help us?

The update solved the issue with the custom fields assignment, we can assign custom fields to lists via API. But we still cannot have a custom field with the same name on 2 different users.

@marfan there shouldn't be an issue in creating custom fields with the same name if the user is different. Please look into it once more!

@wasif @curtis I think it was allowed to the earlier versions. But it will be allowed again in next version(5.2.1) as well. Which will be released on 22nd or 23rd December.

Hey there,

Upgrade to version 5.2.2 fixed the previous issue, but now we got other issues.

Here's an example,
1) Add custom field CF1 (named "Visitor ID") to user A, list A1.
2) Add another custom field CF2 (same name "Visitor ID") to user B, list B1.
3) Create new list for user B, let's say B2.
4) Try to assign the custom field CF2 to list B2 (same user B).
What will actually happen is that it will assign CF1 (from user A) to B2 (list belongs to user B), instead of CF2.
Probably because of the same name, which comes index first.

I verified that by the ids of the custom fields.
I can clearly see that the id of CF1 belongs to user A when the id of CF2 belongs to user B.

Another issue,
When I create and assign custom fields manually not via API, when I fetch /api/getListCustomFields for these lists,
I can clearly see the "list_ids" filed contains all the lists that the custom field was assigned to,
on the other hand, when I do it through API,
it will show only the list_id of the list that we initially created it for,
and will not show the rest of the list_ids I assigned the custom field for.

Another issue,
While /api/updateList if group_name field is not presented, the group name value will be removed,
and it will be updated to Unsorted group by default. when it should probably just be ignored.

Another thing,
On the "Add Custom Field" function docs, field "list_id" said "ids of the contact lists to assign this field to them".
So we tried to pass lists ids as a string separated by comma, maybe to assign lists on custom field creation.
- No luck. Error: "The list id must be an integer."

We're perform our tests on two different users, both with different API keys obviously.

We're waiting for your assistance,
Thanks again.

Hey there, we've noticed the update to 5.2.3 - but the issue is still exists.

Check the attached screenshots:
1) Custom fields update request sent for list 974, user 158.
2) Expected to get set of custom ids from user 158, from the prior list 973.
3) The custom fields were assigned from totally different user 6, totally different list 11.

New update will be released very soon...

We've been already a whole month into this tiny issue.
I apologize in advance for the annoyance but we cannot use your software unless it's fixed, all our clients are waiting on us.
This is crucial for us, can anyone please give us an estimated date when a patch for this gonna be released? thanks!
