    Aravinth,

    Since this field was created directly in the database, it is possible that there are missing components that are required by Sugar.  When a field is created via Studio, a vardef file is created on the file system, along with the field being created in the [module]_cstm table and fields_meta_data table within the database.

    If you create the field via Studio, the REST call should return results.

    For reference, here is a link to developer guide that walks you through manually creating a field.

    You can also review this document on creating fields in Studio.

    Hope this helps,

    Lori

    Thank you so much for your reply. I just created the field directly in database(is that good or not).For accessing this value in REST call, modified the cache/module/module-name/vardefs solved the issue.

    How to update the custom field (created using studio) using REST api.

    Aravinth,

    I am not sure if this page will help, but thought I would pass it along.  The page contains several examples of creating and updating records using REST.

    Kind Regards,

    Lori
