Hi Aravind,

for this I suggest you use the "dynamic attributes" feature. Through UI,
you navigate to data administration > attribute > add new, then enter the
attribute name and value type (e.g. "Location", "Text") and check
"organisation unit" (which makes this attribute apply to org units). Now
when adding new org units, these new attributes will be available as input
fields, and will also be present in the web api resource representation.

cheers

Lars
