Send data in non-custom fields

I have a self-hosted ntfy instance and I am gradually building a bare-bones mobile app to display my notifications.

I am publishing by POSTing as JSON. Is it possible for the ntfy server to send all the data fields that are included in the JSON? I would like to pass data in custom fields. Makes sense?

If this does not exist, is it possible to make a feature-request?

Can you make an example? Like, you want to just send custom fields when you publish the message and then pass it along to where?
- My backend POSTs notification JSON to self-hosted ntfy server:
  
  { "topic": "1234", "message": "foo", "title": "bar", "customField": "baz" }
  
  The ntfy server should broadcast all fields, including customField to the websockets/subscribers of this topic.
  
  Am I missing something?
  
  Got it. Yeah no that's not supported. I have thought about adding that many times, but nobody's asked for it so far.
  
  I'd probably call them extras though or something, so it'd be:
  
  { "topic": "1234", "message": "foo", "title": "bar", "extras": { "customField": "baz" } }
  
  That would work great! So anything sent under "extras" would be forwarded verbatim to the mobile app.
  
  Is it too much trouble to implement?
  
  It's probably easy as pie to implement. Feel free to open a ticket on GitHub.
