I'm trying to add a new field to an item via PATCH

As I understand from the RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6901 I can pass something like

```
{
"path": "/fields/4",
"op": "add",
"value": {
"label": "pkcs12base64",
"type": "STRING",
"value": "MIIRuQIB...."
}
}

```

and I will find a new field at position 4 if I have 4 fields already there

I receive a 400 Invalid request body or parameter

How should it be done instead?

Thanks

Hi there,

You should be able to add a new field with the following:
[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/fields",
"value": {
"label": "pkcs12base64",
"type": "string",
"value": "MIIRuQIB...."
}
}
]

Note that you do not need to include a position number for the new field. See https://support.1password.com/connect-api-reference/#change-item-details for more information on performing patch operations. You can also view the api spec https://github.com/1Password/connect/blob/main/docs/openapi/spec.yaml for more examples.
