Any chance someone can point me in the right direction of API documentation on patient field defs? I'm looking at creating them via API and then populating data. Is this possible? I couldn't see anything under definitions, is it somewhere else or not supported in the API? Thanks.

It is currently not possible to create patfielddefs via the API. We will add this to our development list.

Thanks!

Thanks! Once added, will we be able to post data to those created patfielddefs or is that a separate request?

Yes. I have added patfieldDefs POST and PUT to our development list. For additional information, please see patFields POST.

Thanks!

We have completed this feature request. PatFieldDefs POST will allow creating new patfielddefs via the API, while PatFieldDefs PUT and DELETE will allow modifying and deleting existing ones respectively.

These methods are available as of beta version 23.3.26. Please see https://www.opendental.com/site/apipatfielddefs.html for more information.
