Adding fields to the custom objects

You can add fields that are not part of fields API to the custom objects. Perform the following steps to add the fields:
    1Edit the Eloqua Bulk connection.
    2In the Activities or Custom fields Configuration connection attribute, add the following JSON element to the JSON template available in the connection attribute:
    "CustomObjects" :{
    "CO_CustomObject1": ["MappedEntityId","UniqueId"],
    "CO_CustomObject2": ["MappedEntityId","UniqueId"]
    }
    where CO_CustomObject1 and CO_CustomObject2 are the names of custom objects and MappedEntityId and UniqueId are the fields.
    3Now add the following field details to the JSON template:
    These are the details of the fields that you defined in the CustomObjects element added in the previous step.
    "CustomItem": [
    {
    "name": "MappedEntityId",
    "internalName": "MappedEntityId",
    "dataType": "integer",
    "hasReadOnlyConstraint": true,
    "hasNotNullConstraint": false,
    "hasUniquenessConstraint": true,
    "statement": "{{CustomObject[id].MappedEntityId}}"
    },
    {
    "name": "UniqueId",
    "internalName": "UniqueId",
    "dataType": "integer",
    "hasReadOnlyConstraint": true,
    "hasNotNullConstraint": false,
    "hasUniquenessConstraint": true,
    "statement": "{{CustomObject[id].UniqueId}}"
    }
    ]
    After adding the above details, confirm that the JSON structure is valid.
