Hello Pushpay Support,

We are developing a custom family registration form for Evangel Church that integrates with Church Community Builder (CCB) through the API.

We would like to include a Military Service dropdown for adult household members and have their selections saved directly to their CCB individual profiles.

In the CCB profile editor, we identified the following field:

Field identifier: individual/35

Available options:

Not Specified (blank)

Air Force (value 1)

Army (value 2)

Coast Guard (value 3)

Marines (value 4)

Navy (value 5)

Space Force (value 6)

We currently use the legacy XML API at https://evangelchurch.ccbchurch.com/api.php with a dedicated API user.

We have a few questions:

Is Military Service (individual/35) accessible through the legacy CCB XML API?

If so, what API service and parameter names should we use to read and update this field when creating or updating an individual?

Are the numeric option values (1–6) valid API values, or does the API require different identifiers?

Can this field be populated during create_individual, or must it be updated in a separate request after the individual is created?

Our goal is to verify the integration using a test profile before enabling this feature in our registration form.

Could you provide an example API request for setting Military Service to Air Force, along with an example request to read the value back?

Thank you for your assistance!
