How to retrieve the job and customer suffix field using the quickbooks API - intuit-partner-platform

Question

We are building an application that gets data from a QuickBooks online account using the QuickBooks Online API V2. According to the API documentation, we can see that the "Suffix" field is supported for both customer and job tables. However we have noticed this field is not being returned in the API response. Below is a sample response for a job which should have a suffix (the suffix is present in the quickbooks UI). Is this a problem with the API, the API documentation, or our API request?

Answer 1

Just now I've created a customer using IDS V2 API.
Req body -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Customer xmlns:ns2="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbo" xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2">
<TypeOf>Person</TypeOf>
<Name>John Doe</Name>
<Suffix>Sr</Suffix>
</Customer>
Response (GetByID) -
<Customer xmlns="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/v2" xmlns:qbp="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbopayroll/v1" xmlns:qbo="http://www.intuit.com/sb/cdm/qbo">

<CustomField xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="StringTypeCustomField">

</CustomField>
<CustomField xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="StringTypeCustomField">

</CustomField>
<CustomField xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="BooleanTypeCustomField">

<Value>false</Value>
</CustomField>
<ShowAs>John Doe</ShowAs>
<OpenBalance>

</OpenBalance>
</Customer>
It seems, it works in GetByID API call.
Edit
But GetAll query endpoint doesn't populate suffix attribute. Here is the response.
<Customer>
<Id idDomain="QBO">6</Id>
