**Permission:** Requires `manage_custom_objects`, `manage_custom_records` **or** `custom_objects`. Denials read `View Custom Records`.

            the API adds the `d.` prefix automatically. Passing `d.field_name`
            will double-prefix the path. System fields (`created_at`,
            `updated_at`, `external_id`, etc.) are passed as-is.

      description: >-
        Team scope for the request, as one or more team ObjectIds. The brackets
        are required: PHP keeps only the last value for a repeated plain key, so
        `teams=A&teams=B` silently resolves to B alone. On requests with a JSON
        body you may send `teams` (no brackets) in the body instead.


        **Values that are not valid ObjectIds are silently ignored** — a
        mistyped team ID behaves as if no team was sent. See the [teams section
        of the API conventions guide](/guides/api-conventions#team-scoping).
