There is an option to "Add a custom field" in Google Contacts web page, when we create/edit a contact.

Using Google Contact API v3.0, we can add "extended properties" using 'gd:extendedProperty' xml-element.

Are these two pointing to the same field. When I create an extended property via API, I am not seeing that field/value in the Google contacts web page view.

I get a feeling that, the gd:extendedProperty is solely for API based manipulation purpose. Is it right?

In that case, is it possible to create a "Custom Field" via API and I want that field/value to be shown in the Google Contacts web page.

  • Custom fields and Extended properties are different. If you want to add custom field to the contact, you have to add this line in the xml you are using for adding contact. I tried the scenario and it worked for me. – SGC Sep 28 '15 at 21:51
  • I am having a similar problem: I need to change the value of a Google Contacts "Custom Field" via the API. Yet, I don't see any of the custom fields appearing in the contact I am receiving from the API, but therefore I see an extended property that I don't see in the website. – Flip Sep 30 '15 at 08:05
  • I just added the line while trying to add new contact, and it worked for me – SGC Oct 01 '15 at 20:43
