After creation of a Custom object metadata with createMetadata(...), I want to add new lookup Custom Field to it additionally (not at the time of creation).

By using updateMetadata(...) method, I attach the Custom field details in analogy to like when creating a new Custom object with Custom field,

I get successful response with no error for the metadata update,

but new Custom field is not added in Salesforce to the existing Custom object.

By updateMetadata(...) I can change static fields of the Custom Object, like Description, etc.. but I cannot add an additional custom field by applying its description in the fields array.

Can anyone advise is it possible to additionally append a new custom field after creation of Custom object using updateMetadata and what's the trick, if possible.

If it's impossible to additionally append a new custom field, please confirm that.

PS: With the same meta description of the new field I can add it at creation time with no problem, but not at update time.

Regards

Yes, by creation of field specifying CustomObjectName.FieldName fullname. Update is not the right method, create will do the job.
