Hi @Kyle_Westhorpe, it looks like you are missing the opening <methodCall> tag, unless it was a copy/paste error. Otherwise what you have appears to be correct. What error are you seeing when you try and make the call?

@Nicholas_Trecina,

I’m not XML proficient but if @Kyle_Westhorpe just wants to add a custom field, wouldn’t he need to add:

<member><name>_CustField1</name>
          <value><string>Custom field value</string></value>
</member>

You need the DB name for the custom field for it to work. When you go into your custom fields in IS there is a link at the top of the list to view database names. That will need to be the name you use in the above (preceeded by an underscore)

I am not proper understand above mentioned solution ‘When you go into your custom fields in IS there is a link at the top of the list to view database names’, I am not clear.
So Please mention steps for ‘When you go into your custom fields in IS there is a link at the top of the list to view database names’, please mention steps .
