Yes, if you are using `Content-Type: application/json` you should send it in like

> {
> "user_field: {
> "name": "asdf",
> "description": "asdf",
> "field_type": "confirm",
> "required": true
> }
> }
> 
> ```

The example in the api docs is using `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`, but I’ll be sure to update it to the json example.
