Hi,

can you help me about creating an API to forward an information to a custom fields.  
We want to create a Fullfillment that have it in our own order and titles inside the .csv file. So i think the best way is to forward an information to custom fields.

for example. I want to forward or copy  
ContactId to \_ReferenceNumber  
First Name to \_Shiptoname

etc…

@Mark_Ian_Saclot,

I’m uncertain of the scope of what you are asking is here. It’s a big subject to teach someone to program using the api as a general topic. As to specifically writing to a custom field you can find documentation here:

[https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/xml-rpc/#data-create-a-record](https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/xml-rpc/#data-create-a-record)

That describes writing to the DataFormField table (which is where your custom field rows reside), and go here:

[https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/table-schema/](https://developer.infusionsoft.com/docs/table-schema/)

to see specifics on the table itself.
