For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0". For private custom fields that are only visible to the application that created them, this is a valid GUID identifying the owning application. Internally, Conductor always fetches all public custom fields (those with an `ownerId` of "0") for all objects. example: '0' name: type: string description: >- The name of the custom field, unique for the specified `ownerId`. For public custom fields, this name is visible as a label in the QuickBooks UI. example: Customer Rating type: type: string enum: - amount_type - date_time_type - integer_type - percent_type - price_type - quantity_type - string_1024_type - string_255_type description: The data type of this custom field. example: string_1024_type value: type: string description: >- The value of this custom field.
