Create Account Custom Field

POST /accounts/custom-field Creates a new custom field for accounts. The field key is auto-generated from the label and cannot be set manually. Key generation rule: Spaces are replaced with underscores, the result is uppercased, and _C is appended. Only spaces are transformed — all other characters pass through as-is.

Label	Generated key
`Contract Value`	`CONTRACT_VALUE_C`
`Net-Revenue`	`NET-REVENUE_C`
`Revenue (USD)`	`REVENUE_(USD)_C`
