Help text on some fields 

Custom fields 

Custom fields are values we add to an object which was not amongst the existing options preconfigured.
More information can be found on articles like this.
Example Use Case - For “Remove Person Custom Field Values” you need to enter the custom field id and the necessary details for the field of interest. The then selected custom field id will be removed form that person, and should reflect in dashboard.

Extra fields 

Use of “extra fields” in list and get endpoints – you can refer the GraphQL documentation and add any fields in the output, that are not already present.

The only format needed here is to copy paste exactly how the explorer writes the query when you select your field of interest, so if it is a direct field it’ll be a straightforward value like – description.

And in case of a child and child object like city you will have - address {city country}
