Unfortunately, retrieving the Definition ID for custom fields created after the first 3 directly through the API Explorer is not possible. The API Explorer only provides a limited view of data and functionality. To access Definition IDs for later custom fields, consider exploring other methods like querying specific entities that utilize these custom fields or leveraging the Preferences endpoint if available.
