--- identifierType	Object	Contains information on customer identifier type.
---- value	String	Customer identifier name.
---- valueType	String	Data type of the identifierType field value. For example, `Boolean`, `Enum`, `String`.
--- isRequired	Object	Object containing information on whether the field is mandatory.
---- value	Boolean	Value indicating if the field is mandatory. Values: `True` - Required, `False` - Not required.
---- valueType	String	Data type of the isRequired field value. For example, `Boolean`, `Enum`, `String`.
--- source	Object	Contains information on the source of customer creation.
