My requirement is to put a URL link in a RQM test case. I think I can create a new field or use current field (ex: test description or note).

But I want to use RQM API to input the URL link into the test case, I check the API document (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi), but it seems there is not an API to do this function, is it correct?

You have a couple of options:

-Description field.
-Custom attribute.
-Custom section.
-Test Case Design section.

Thanks, I can use API to create/update in build-in section and custom section now. But I want to try custom attribute. I try to search it, but it seems not many document describe it. Does it mean I can add some attributes (ex: URL link) in any section (ex: summary)?

Custom attributes are not a resource type (like categories). Instead, you include custom attributes in the test resource (e.g. test case) XML.  See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#ScenarioCreateTip to get started.
