adding details in issue command

Question

Hi, I am trying to issue assets that have relevant ID data in the "details" section of the asset. I am using the convention '{..."details":{"foo1":"value"...}}', but the details section remains blank. Can this only be done when issuing using the transaction API commands?

You just need to pass the details themselves in the sixth parameter to the issue API, e.g. if you're using the command line interface:

issue [address] asset1 100 0.01 0 '{"foo1":"value"...}'

If you're doing this via a more direction connection to the JSON-RPC API, be sure to pass the custom fields as a JSON object rather than a string.
