The create functions related to these API's say that they "Return: Array of newly created custom_group properties." It would be extremely useful if they actually did this.

For groups they return an array containing the error (if there is one or not,) the ID of the newly created group, and an array of data the user has supplied (as opposed to an array of the groups properties.)

For fields they return an array containing the error (if there is one or not) and the ID of the newly created field (as opposed to an array of the fields properties.)

Unless I am missing something, these have been the results of all my testing.
