Bulk Asset Import API (Custom Attributes)
Hello,
Following this documentation, here is the payload that I am sending to the /assets/import endpoint:
{
"Items": [
{
"SerialNumber": "ABCDE",
"ExternalID": 1234,
"MyAttribute": "My value",
"PurchaseCost": 150.00
}
],
"Settings": {
"Mappings": [
{
"FieldIdentifier": "SerialNumber",
"CustomAttributeID": 0,
"DefaultValue": null,
"ClearOnNull": false
},
{
"FieldIdentifier": "ExternalID",
"CustomAttributeID": 0,
"DefaultValue": null,
"ClearOnNull": false
},
{
"FieldIdentifier": "MyAttribute",
"CustomAttributeID": 123456,
"DefaultValue": null,
"ClearOnNull": false
},
{
"FieldIdentifier": "PurchaseCost",
"CustomAttributeID": 0,
"DefaultValue": null,
"ClearOnNull": false
}
]
,
"UpdateItems": true
}
}
All fields are updated except for the custom attribute (which is a text field). I have quadruple checked that the attribute ID is correct. I have tried with a different attribute. Are custom attributes supported? Thank you.

Hello Daniel,
We can see that your mappings are completed, but it seems like those fieldidentifiers are wrong potentially. You might try CustomAttribute-<attribute ID> like in the docs: https://solutions.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/1965/Portal/Shared/FileOpen?AttachmentID=de3e43e5-d2ec-485a-a8dd-92c8ef5c99a2&ItemID=4056&ItemComponent=26&IsInline=-1
In general though, that endpoint is really only *meant* to be called by our asset import utility tool. It *can* be used in a manual call, but it is a pretty difficult endpoint to call manually.
