[APBeta] Scripting manual yet?

[Jeff Young]

Try using APPlanObject.AddUserField(title).  It will return an APUserField.  Check the Framework Reference for the methods defined on APUserField.  (You can also access an existing user field with APPlanObject.UserField(n) or APPlanObject.UserField(title).  There doesn't appear to be a way to delete one.  Perhaps setting its value to NULL will do that?)

APPlan also has some user field methods, which appear to let you modify the type and units of fields defined for a plan.  But I'm not sure what happens if you set a value on one accessed via APPlan.ObjectUserField().
