Education related custom fields / attributes

Hello,

I saw this post the other day which discussed the Education entity and specifically, the inability to read from / write to the education related custom fields/attributes using the SKY API.

I know the post is a few years old now so can I confirm that the developer now has complete ability to be able to read from / write to any education related custom fields/attributes they the organisation sets up?

Thanks

Damon

    The ten default user custom fields that are exposed via the User Extended endpoint are now also exposed via the normal User endpoints. Using those endpoints data in those fields can be added and updated.

    Hope this helps!

    Can some additional details be provided on this? I tried testing a bunch of different constituent endpoints today via the endpoint reference, and the education custom attributes weren't returned. I just need a nudge to know how to add/update/retrieve this data via SKY API. TIA!

    The education user custom fields were added to the School API only, they are not returned in the Constituent API.


    Sorry for the confusion.
