Custom Category creation via API/Terraform

I need to create `Custom Category` via code. Is there API/Terraform resource available for this? I couldn't find it in the docs.

    The ability to create custom applications and categories via API/Terraform is a much-needed functionality. I have around 300 custom applications that need to be configured in Cato. Doing it manually from CMA is a time-consuming operation.

      I completely agree and understand the need for this.  Custom applications, custom categories and groups are actively being worked on and as soon as the APIs are available, we will add resource in terraform ASAP. Please stay tuned for updates.

    Hi DevS,

    Good point.
    I am able to find the settings of custom app in CMA, but not in API, at the moment: https://api.catonetworks.com/documentation/ 

    As an alternative, would you consider configuring custom apps in CMA for the time being? ___
    I believe there are existing RFEs on this.

    Cheers
