Update Custom Field - Leadfeeder API

Update an existing custom field's name and/or configuration.

At least one of name or configuration must be provided. If name is present, it must not be blank.
The configuration attribute is only meaningful for prompt-capable field types
(ai_score, ai_text, ai_number, ai_boolean, contact_collection);
it is silently ignored for simple types (text, number, boolean, date).

Credit Note: Updating custom fields does not consume credits.
