[Bug Report: API Field Missing] Create Custom Field (for contacts/opportunities) missing fields from documentation #300

Description

@kylercarlson

🐛 Describe the Bug

https://marketplace.gohighlevel.com/docs/ghl/locations/create-custom-field

The documentation doesn't list all available fields. I've discovered parentId (setting the folder), fieldKey and description all work, not sure what else is missing.

📍 API Endpoint

https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/locations/{locationId}/customFields

✅ Expected Behavior

Would expect to see all available fields to avoid confusion.

💻 Screenshots or Code Samples

{
    "name": "Test Field",
    "placeholder": "Add text here",
    "showInForms": true, // Not sure if this works/does anything
    "dataType": "TEXT",
    "fieldKey": "test_field_custom", // Works, not documented
    "model": "contact",
    "parentId": "OBtitTvkSkS5SOneXRzL", // Works, not documented
    "description": "Just a test field." // Works, not documented
}
