@vinothkannans Again thanks for suggestion,

I have successfully added field.

I have one issue though the `add_to_serializer` is loaded before a HTTP request comes in, therefore if I set the value of the custom field with params[“value\_to\_field”] from the params Hash, it fails for obvious reason, the fact that it `add_to_serializer` does not have access to params, is there a way to circumvent this limitation.

Thanks
