Is there a way to update a custom field in the orders with REST Docs or XML-RPC?

There may be a json struct to send with REST but I know for certain that there are at least two ways with the RPC. The method calls update and add called on the DataFormField will allow you to update information on the contact in that custom field and the methods for updating a contact can have the custom field(s) passed to it preceeded by an underscore.

Well you were right, I used the method “DataService.update” in XML-RPC with the table “job”.
