Problems with Directory API: Custom User Schema - google-apps-script

Question

I'm programming a function in order to update users' info. I did it and it works fine however it doesn't work when I want to use custom schemas. I checked the reference but it showed an error "Invalid Input: [employmentData] "
function directoryUpdate(userId, userDept, userLocation, userPhone,userTitle) {
var userId = 'devtest#pruebatest.com',userDept='D003', userLocation='L003';
var userTitle='T003';
var update = {
ims:
[{
type: "work",
protocol: "gtalk",
im: "liz_im#talk.example.com",
primary: true
}],
emails: [
{
address: "liz#example.com",
type: "home",
customType: "",
primary: true
}
],
addresses:
[{
type: "home",
customType: "",
streetAddress: "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway",
locality: "Mountain View",
region: "CA",
postalCode: "94043"
}
],
organizations:
[{
name: "Next Step",
title: userTitle,
primary: true,
type: "work",
department: userDept,
location: userLocation
}],
customSchemas: {
employmentData: {
employeeNumber: "123456789",
jobFamily: "Engineering",
location: "Atlanta",
jobLevel: 8,
projects: [
{ value: "GeneGnome", customType: "development" },
{ value: "Panopticon", customType: "support" }
]
}
}
};
update = AdminDirectory.Users.patch(update, userId);
Logger.log('User %s updated with result %s.', userId, update)
return true;
}
What's the error?
Greetings, Thanks in advance.

The employmentData field is inside the "customSchemas" field. Custom schemas have to be defined before using them.
To create a Custom Schema you have to use the resource Schemas.insert.
After creating the schema with the correspondent fields and type of value (STRING, INT, ETC) your code should run without issues. I tried it and worked for me.
Also, after updating the user, when making the call to Users.get, you have to set the parameter "projection=full" in order to see these values in the response.
