Morning, How can I get the Items API to include custom fields added to the Commerce Category? The configuration record only contains the native fields.

Er, you can’t? Do you mean how can you fetch custom fields for a category when, for example, you browse to the landing page for the category? Because, for that, you need a code customisation

Something like this:
```Application.on('after:Category.get', function (CategoryModel, category) {
    var lookupResults = nlapiLookupField('commercecategory', category.internalid, [
        'yourcustomfield'
    ]);
    category.customfield = lookupResults.yourcustomfield
});```
But you could just integrate that into your code if you’re using SCA

Sorry, I goofed the question. This is the endpoint: `/api/navigation/v1/categorynavitems` . I believe the fields returned are defined in the json config file under Integrations &gt; Categories.

I was hoping to append custom fields defined on the Commerce Category record to the list of available fields.

OK, well I’ve never known that to be true, but I don’t actually know enough about how this API works, whether it would accept requests for custom fields. My basic tinkering suggests it doesn’t

Thank you for the feedback, <@U8X7E86M6>. There are many ways to fill this requirement, one of them will work!
