Read and write employee Custom Tables data via the HiBob People API

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Call GET /v1/people/custom-tables/metadata to discover which custom tables exist for the company (or the per-table metadata endpoint for one table)
Call GET /v1/people/custom-tables/{employeeId}/{customTableId} to read all entries for a given employee and table
Call POST /v1/people/custom-tables/{employeeId}/{customTableId} with an array of column/value pairs to create a new entry, supplying every column marked Mandatory in the table's settings
Use PUT/DELETE on a specific entry ID to update or remove a row
Note that the standard employee search endpoint does not return custom table data - it must be read separately
Known gotchas
Reads are capped at 50 requests/minute per endpoint; writes (POST/PUT/DELETE) are capped at 10/minute
If field-level permissions are enabled and the service user has partial column access, responses include a restricted_columns object - check it before assuming a full row was returned
Custom tables must already be defined in Bob's UI; the API only reads/writes existing table structures
