I'm looking for a way to modify the values of Custom fields (called subject_fields in the Highrise API somewhat confusingly).
The Ruby wrapper 37signals recommends does not support these custom fields.
I found a fork that has been updated more recently and I've been able to get sort of working:
p = Highrise::Person.find_all_across_pages(:params => {:name => "John"}).last
print p.name # outputs, John Smith, which is what I want.
I have a custom field called "Measurements".
This works:
p.subject_data_hash # outputs {"measurements"=>"5 feet"}
However, when I try to access only this value with p.field("Measurements") (I also tried "measurements", I get <Highrise::SubjectData:0x007fb059b6be10>, with none of the @attributes that contain the data I'm looking for.
Needless to say, I can't modify the values if I can't access them.
How can I access and modify the values of custom fields in Ruby with the Highrise API?
To get the value:
p.field("measurements").value
To set the value:
p.set_field_value("measurements", "5 feet")
p.save
