Custom fields are used by lenders to track information that's important to their business practices but isn't native to LoanPro. Note the following when using this request:

Custom fields can display several different types of information. This request creates a custom field that displays a web URL.

Users create custom fields for entities such as Loans, Customers, and more. Once the field has been set up, it will be included as an option for each newly created entity. When creating the entity a custom field is associated with, the user determines the value of the custom field.

Custom fields do not update themselves automatically. However, it's possible to set a default value for the field.

For an example of how custom fields work within the UI, take a look at our Custom Fields article.
