 * Hi there.
 * I have a pod with 18 fields that refuses to add another one. Other pods with 
   less fields are working. Tried creating a new pod with 19 fields and that one
   failed to save too. Troubleshooting is more of a headache than getting any positive
   results so plan B, how can I programmatically add a field in a pod?
    I looked
   through your documentation but there’s several pages missing on the documentation
   site. I found ways to add items to existing fields but not how to create new 
   fields. I’d only need to do this once.
 * Appreciate any help. Thank you.

 * What kind of error do you get? It sounds like a PHP max vars limitation.
