REST API Custom Fields

1. Login as Admin user as Form Data to get Bearer token https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API#example-call---as-form-data

2. There needs to be Custom Field added to board https://wekan.github.io/api/v3.46/#wekan-rest-api-customfields

3. Custom Field at board and card will have same _id https://wekan.github.io/api/v3.46/#put_board_list_card

4. When writing Custom Field value to card, like text field, content type needs to be "application/json" and the string needs to be an array: `` -d '{ "customFields" : [ { "_id" : "oZHkpcaxDHnbkbqGo", "value" : "foobar" } ] }'

5) For other types of Custom Fields, you can look at Custom Field structure from MongoDB database with [nosqlbooster](https://nosqlbooster.com/downloads) that can also login through ssh to server Wekan snap MongoDB port 27019
