Are custom_fields on posts/topics available via the API?

You, sir, are a gent of the highest order!

It’s working now.

For fellow travellers, it seems that you can’t use the Ruby API gem’s create_topic method…

client.create_topic(...)

…as it looks like the API only passes known fields through.

Instead, I had to use the raw client’s post method, like so:

args = {
  title: title,
  raw: content,
  category: child_category["id"],
  event: {
    "start" => event_start.to_s,
    "end" => event_end.to_s
  }
}
new_topic = client.post("/posts", args.to_h)

EDIT: I can live with not being able to set the settings for the event plugin at the category level as that is pretty much a one-time thing.

PS, @angus, why did it take you 24 minutes to respond - I expect better service that than! *

* for the avoidance of doubt, this is dripping with British sarcasm and irony.
