I need to edit a contact and set a custom field to “1”. When I try to do this I am getting back the message “You did not select any lists”. Why do I need to select a list? I do not wish to change anything about the contact other than the custom field, how do I go about this? What must I add for the “p” data variable?

Custom fields are attached to lists. So, it’s not saying you need to change anything about the contact, just that you need to associate the custom field with a list (or make it global).
I’m not sure what you’re referring to here:
What must I add for the “p[]” data variable?
I can loop in one of our devs to help with that.
Hey @acxsystem! My guess is that you’re using contact_edit (http://www.activecampaign.com/api/example.php?call=contact_edit). However, if you don’t want to have to pass the list id, you can use contact_sync (http://www.activecampaign.com/api/example.php?call=contact_sync), which is much better!

This does not work if you need to update the email. It creates a new user.
