Adding Custom Tabs and Attributes Using REST API

Custom Tabs and Attributes can be posted through REST API, when creating or updating a CI for the Classification. A new "Tab Name" field is added to the JSON. When posting the CI using POST method, you can specify the tab name in the "Tab Name" fields to create or update the Custom Tab. Also, "Tab Name" with "Multiple value" field can be added in the JSON.

When posting the JSON with an empty "Tab Name", a default error "Additional Information" is displayed.
