creating customized field with field type checkbox by Javascript programmatically

Niko Zimmermann

I'm using 7.x server and created a customized field as field type checkbox. Want to create the options via Rest API and java script programmatically. I don't want to use plugin and maven. Only hack as java script. But do not really know in which field to place my html and js. When configure the customized field, which Field is the starting point for my code, Description or Option or else where ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hy @Niko Zimmermann 

i've placed custom js and html in the description of a custom field before and it worked.

That said, i dont recommend doing that. No one will be looking in the field description to find out where the options for the customfield come from - which makes working with that field more complicated than it should be for a fellow admin. I strongly recommend setting the options via the custom field admin page.
