Adding a new ItemField belonging to a section

Hey.

I want to add a new ItemField to the Item. This ItemField must belong to an preexisting Section (if I could create a Section and an ItemField within a single request that would be even better!).

I browsed through the https://developer.1password.com/docs/connect/connect-api-reference/#update-a-subset-of-item-attributes and studied the Swagger, spent some time experimenting but to no avail.

HTTP Method: PATCH
URL: http://localhost:8080/v1/vaults/{vaultId}/items/{itemId}

Payload:
[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/fields",
"value": {
"label": "dupa-label",
"type": "string",
"value": "dupa-value",
"section": {
"id": "Section_i25ggti7ffjjhqxvwsous36ute",
"label": "dupa"
}
}
}
]

Response:

...
fields: [
{
"id": "5truufol57nin6vjupkkwgddei",
"type": "STRING",
"label": "dupa-label",
"value": "dupa-value"
}
]
...

Obviously when I GET for this item details there is a section existing:

...
sections: [
{
"id": "i25ggti7ffjjhqxvwsous36ute",
"label": "dupa"
}
]
...

I also tried setting section.id to an id (without Section_ prefix) - didn't work.

How should I do it?

    Hello @mariomonti, Thank you very much for reaching out to us. We only need the ID of the section to add a new field to an existing section and we also need to use replace to add your field to an existing section. So the steps to add a new field to a section is this.

    1. Create a section.
    2. Create a new field.
    3. Add the new field to our section with replace


    [
    {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/fields/5truufol57nin6vjupkkwgddei",
    "value": {
    "label": "dupa-label",
    "type": "string",
    "value": "dupa-label",
    "section": {
    "id": "i25ggti7ffjjhqxvwsous36ute",
    "label": "dupa"
    }
    }
    }
    ]

    I hope this help. Please let me know if you need more information.
