Steps
Call the custom-field creation endpoint once to define a new field, including which surfaces it should appear on (booking engine, reservation/folio, registration card)
Call the custom-fields listing endpoint to confirm the field definition and retrieve its identifier
Set the includeCustomFields parameter to true when calling the reservations endpoint to read back stored custom field values
Update a reservation's custom field values via the reservation update endpoint
Verify the field displays correctly on the intended surface (e.g. booking engine or registration card) after creation
Known gotchas
The custom-field creation call is meant to be made once per field; repeated calls to add the same field can create duplicates rather than update the existing one
Custom field values are not returned by default on reservation reads; the includeCustomFields flag must be set explicitly or the field data is silently omitted
Display-surface flags (booking, reservation, card) control visibility independently, so a field created without the booking flag will not appear on the guest-facing booking engine even if it is populated
