Thanks @alban.  
Finally I used API method like that you link here but I was searching for a method that create a new custom field for contact/company without calling the API from inside Mautic.  
I tried with `ORM\ClassMetadata $builder` and something like `$builder->createField('my_custom_field', 'text')->nullable()->build();` inside an helper but it doesn’t work.

Thanks anyway.
