Custom fields are not visible in API

I created couple custom fields, made them inactive. Then I created 2 which I want to use on invoices and credit memo's, one is Booking ref

quickbooks - custom field.png

When I tried to get these field id I can't

I am using php SDK (newest version)
and when I use 

getCompanyPreferences();

method I do not see in payload this field, however I see the first 3 fields which are INACTIVE

 

 

How can I get list of active fields so I can get their ids?

 

 

Beside when I use quickbook online and I create invoice with this field - it is visible online only and when I pull data for this invoice via api - CustomField property is empty

Custom fields are not visible in API

You can visit our Intuit developer support page, ATC2025.

 

Since this involves specific details within the API's structure and behavior, particularly related to the functionality of custom fields and how they are retrieved or displayed, I recommend visiting our Intuit Developer Support page.

 

This platform is designed to provide valuable resources for software development and allows you to connect with fellow developers to ask questions.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Intuit Developer Support page.
  2. Scroll down and select QuickBooks Online.

     
  3. Click Ask a Question.

     
  4. Log in to your existing Intuit Developer Account or create a new one.
  5. Enter your technical concern or inquiry.
  6. Click Ask.
