Enhance Grantmaking Post Request API
At the moment it's only possible to update the custom fields using this API. Please can you update the API so that it's possible to update other columns in the table. I understand that some fields may be more complex to implement than others, so even partial expansion of this functionality would be appreciated.
We use APIs to make complex updates in BBGM, potentially saving hours per update. The more columns we can modify through the API, the more changes we can handle this way.

Strongly support this. We're also hitting the read side of this limitation — standard fields like Project Description, Project Budget, and Organization Total Budget are not included in the GET/POST Request API response, and there doesn't appear to be a way to retrieve them through the custom_fields parameter since they're standard fields. We've tried to create duplicate custom fields and attempt form mappings as a workaround, but standard form field data doesn't copy to custom fields.
Expanding the API to include commonly used standard fields in the response — even read-only — would be a huge improvement alongside the write access requested here.
Restricting updates to custom fields only is extremely limiting to my work. Like original statement, even partial expansion would be helpful.
