SearchColumnCustomField is an abstract type and cannot be instantiated
For reference, I am trying to pull custom fields in on a vendor advanced search in SOAP

Looks like you need to add the field type to the front of the custom field name.
ex: StringSearchColumnCustomField

battk
06/13/2024, 5:37 PMthe customField element is a SearchColumnCustomField which is an abstract element that nesuite cant desterialize into a java class
battk
06/13/2024, 5:38 PMyou need to specify which type of element the customField element is
battk
06/13/2024, 5:39 PMit has to be one of the types that extend the SearchColumnCustomField
battk
06/13/2024, 5:41 PMhopefully you are using a library that helps out here, but if you are doing this by hand, then you need to go the core types xsd and find the type name of the element that matches the custom field you are looking for
battk
06/13/2024, 5:42 PMfor example, if it was a checkbox (boolean) field, you would be looking for SearchColumnBooleanCustomField

06/13/2024, 5:45 PMwhatever the type name is, you would place that in the xsi:type of the customField element to specify its type
