Get a list of custom fields for contacts crm.contact.userfield.list

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: crm

Who can execute the method: administrator

The method crm.contact.userfield.list returns a list of custom fields for contacts based on a filter.

It also outputs information about these fields, but without the name assigned to the field by the user, only the internal identifier. If you need the user-defined field name, use the method crm.contact.list, which outputs both standard and custom fields.
