I am looking to add fields into the user definition in FreeIPA 4.4.
Right now I have modified the user schema and added the fields in the Web UI for editions.
Now I would like to be able to change the new fields added (country code c and country name co) via the JSON API and thus via the CLI tool. This will require to changes already existing API call such as user_add, user_show etc.
I have found examples of such plugins but for FreeIPA 3, and it seems that the python API changed since then because those are not working when I adapt those with the good field name. I get the following error:
$ ipa
ipa: ERROR: ImportError: No module named plugins
Traceback (most recent call last):

Is there a minimal example somewhere online of adding one or two new attributes to a user for FreeIPA 4.4?
Small precision, I know at least one example of full-blown plugin that adds a whole new type of object, but as far as I get everything in there, it is not applicable in the case of adding new fields for an already existing object.
