Hi

If the standard APIs do not cover your needs, you can support yourself in creating new custom APIs, here is information that can help you.

Hi, the reason is very simple, because they are not the same page.

page 30009 "APIV2 - Customers"

https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/W1/APIV2/app/src/pages/APIV2Customers.Page.al

Hi Yun SHU,gdrenteria

I feel the below code is to add the new field to standard table but if we see my above screen shot those fields are already added in business central. So I just want to access those fields both through get / post.

I can extend the standard API but if I follow below approach then duplicate fields will be created in customer table right?

For example Privacy blocked is already a field in customer table but if i follow below approach then Provacy blocked will add again right ?

Please excuse me with these questions. I am basically a salesforce developer and trying to do Integration between salesforce to BC

Thanks

As I mentioned below, the page you open in BC and the page used by the API are not the same.

For example, the Customer Card and Customer List pages are different, and the fields are also different.

As of now, we cannot extend the API page. You need to customize a new API page.

These contents have been mentioned in my blog, I suggest you read them again.
