Custom Fields Don't Work...

[MysticalMatt517]

I am trying to set a custom field using the following:

$person->setCustomField("Field Name", $value);

The issue is that this line causes Highrise to report back with error code 500. I'm not sure what the issue is, but nothing I do makes custom fields behave appropriately.

Here's the exact error I'm getting back:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'API for Person returned Status Code: 500 Expected Code: 201'

It's showing the error is thrown in HighriseAPI.class.php on line 137.

I am getting this issue as well. I have tried this two ways:

$person->setCustomField( 'Date of Birth', date("m/d/Y", strtotime($_POST['date_of_birth'])) );

$person->setCustomField( 'Date of Birth', new HighriseSubjectData(null, $my_field_id, 'Date of Birth', date("m/d/Y", strtotime($_POST['date_of_birth'])) ));

[edit] Appears that a lot of the custom data I'm entering is supposed to be in subject_data instead of contact_data. Unsure what the difference between these sets are.

You can do this with my Advance Highrise PHP API library.
