For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0".

Internally, Conductor always fetches all public custom fields (those with an `ownerId` of "0") for all objects. - `name` string, required — The name of the custom field, unique for the specified `ownerId`. For public custom fields, this name is visible as a label in the QuickBooks UI. - `type` 'amount_type' | 'date_time_type' | 'integer_type' | 'percent_type' | 'price_type' | 'quantity_type' | 'string_1024_type' | 'string_255_type', required — The data type of this custom field. - `value` string, required — The value of this custom field.
