Set custom field on new inventory item creation
Hi again. I'm trying to set the value of a custom field when creating a new inventory item, but I can't get the syntax quite right. I've been reading through the form posts of others who have gone through this issue and they have gotten me close.
The custom field I'm trying to set for our inventory items has a name of custitem_purch_unit_divisor, an internal NS id of 100 and has a type of "Integer Number". The latest version of code I have looks like this:
[PHP]$customFields = array (
array (
"internalId" => "100",
"value" => $_POST['custitem_purch_unit_divisor']
