Hi there!

I'm trying to create new custom field using code:
$params = array (
'custom_group_id' => 16,
'label'           => 'Test Label',
'html_type'       => 'CheckBox',
'data_type'       => 'String',
'is_active'       => 1,
'text_length'     => 255,
'note_columns'    => 60,
'note_rows'   => 4,
'option_label'    => array('Test Label'),
'option_value'    => array(1)
);
$customField =& civicrm_custom_field_create($params);

Field creates, but it is not active by default. In civicrm_custom_field table in 'is_active' field it has value 1, but in civicrm_option_value it has 'is_active' value 0.

How can i solve this problem? I haven't find this in documentation ( http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/Custom+Data+Group+and+Custom+Field+APIs#CustomDataGroupandCustomFieldAPIs-civicrmcustomfieldcreate%28%24params%29 )

Thanks!

hi
Try One of the below ...
$params = array (
'custom_group_id' => 16,
'label'           => 'Test Label-two',
'html_type'       => 'CheckBox',
'data_type'       => 'String',
'is_active'       => 1,
'text_length'     => 255,
'note_columns'    => 60,
'note_rows'   => 4,
'option_label'    => array('Test Label-two-sub'),
'option_value'    => array(1),
'option_weight'   => array(1),
'option_status'   => array(1),
);

$params = array ('custom_group_id' => 16,
                 'label'           => 'PriceMufdlti',
                 'html_type'       => 'Multi-Select',
                 'data_type'       => 'String',
                 'weight'          => 4,
                 'is_required'     => 1,
                 'is_searchable'   => 0,
                 'is_active'       => 1,
                 'option_label'    => array( 'MultiLabel1','MultiLabel2'),
                 'option_value'    => array( 10, 20 ),
                 'option_weight'   => array( 1, 2),
                 'option_status'   => array( 1, 1),
                 );
You missed with
option_status  => Active
option_weight => Order
