Creating and setting value for custom profile fields

We would like to create custom profile fields, and then set values for them. We were told this was possible by our Lithium contact, but I'm having difficulty finding documentation on how to do this. ...

hi iftomkins 

not too sure about the exact context

 

but one thing noticed was your first REST call  URL:

.../profiles/name/ideas_terms_accepted/...

and your 2nd REST call to retrieve URL was this:

.../profiles/name/profile.ideas_terms_accepted/...

 should it be just .../profiles/ideas_terms_accepted/... (without the "profile.") in the 2nd REST call?

And for the record, while I'm not familiar with the term "signed decimal integer", used by our Lithium contact, it seems that our this field, profile.ideas_terms_accepted_date, accepts the value from datesupport.millisecondsAsString. This seems to work:

 

<#assign response = restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/profiles/name/ideas_terms_accepted_date/set?value=" + datesupport.millisecondsAsString)/>
<#assign date_accepted = restadmin("/users/id/${user.id}/profiles/name/ideas_terms_accepted_date").value>


alert('${date_accepted}');
