Steps
Send GET https://api.copper.com/developer_api/v1/custom_field_definitions to list all definitions, including id, name, data_type, and available_on (which entities the field applies to: lead, person, opportunity, company, project, task).
Check data_type to know how to format values (e.g. String, Text, Dropdown, Date, Checkbox, Float, URL, Percentage, Currency, Connect, MultiSelect); Dropdown types include an options array in the definition.
Use is_filterable to know whether a field can be used in search/filter calls.
Create, update, fetch, or delete individual definitions via the corresponding endpoints under /developer_api/v1/custom_field_definitions[/{id}].
Known gotchas
The exact JSON shape for setting a custom field's value on a Lead/Person/etc. record should be checked directly on the entity-specific create/update endpoint docs before assuming a format.
Dropdown and MultiSelect fields store option IDs, not option labels, unless you request computed values.
