Custom field values are sent to the API as an object keyed by each field's numeric id (e.g. `{"75": {"type": "boolean", "value": "false"}}`), not as an array — the CLI builds this shape for you, so you never need to construct it by hand. If you're calling the API directly (e.g. from your own script or a custom MCP server) and want to see the exact payload the CLI sends, add `--show-request`:

```bash
abs experiments update 123 --field "Hypothesis=Updated hypothesis" --show-request
# → PUT https://your-instance.absmartly.io/experiments/123

Align the request URL with the documented endpoint.

Line 649 uses https://your-instance.absmartly.io/experiments/123, but the README documents API endpoints as https://your-instance.absmartly.com/v1. This makes the claimed request output inconsistent and may direct users to the wrong host or path.

In `@README.md` at line 649, Update the PUT request URL in the README example to
use the documented API host and `/v1` base path, while preserving the existing
experiment resource and identifier.
