| `customAttribute` | `Square.CustomAttribute` | Yes      | —       | The custom attribute to create or update, with the following fields: - `value`. This value must conform to the `schema` specified by the definition. For more information, see [Value data types](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/customer-custom-attributes-api/custom-attributes#value-data-types). - `version`. To enable [optimistic concurrency](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/build-basics/common-api-patterns/optimistic-concurrency) control for an update operation, include this optional field and specify the current version of the custom attribute. |
| `idempotencyKey`  | `string \| null`         | No       | —       | A unique identifier for this request, used to ensure idempotency. For more information, see [Idempotency](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/build-basics/common-api-patterns/idempotency).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
