Request API functions for revealing existence of custom field groups and fields
January 08, 2010, 03:09:23 pm
I just added a Cookbook page about this:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/Check+for+existence+of+custom+field+groups+or+custom+fields


My request is that you add some API functions along these lines, which would allow us to programmatically discover whether specific custom field groups and custom fields already exist.

thanks...
Harry

Applauded for a really nice cookbook contribution, and I agree this should be part of the API's. Simple get functions should be a part of every API in my estimation. What I would use this for (I have done something similar) is to be able to create some standard uf profiles that have custom fields in them.
