REST API/Payload Examples

From AgileApps Support Wiki

These are payload examples for the REST API field Resource.

In all examples:

  • The <title> element is the field's display label.
  • The <tableColumn> element is the field name.
  • <customVisibilityCriteria> elements, when present, reflect non-default Field Visibility settings.
  • The isCaseSpecialField element is a read-only attribute. A user cannot the set the value for this attribute. This value is set to True for all standard cases or case-type specific fields like subject, description, status, and priority. In all other cases, it is set to False.

Auto Number Field

<platform>
    <field>
        <title>FIELD LABEL</title>

        <startingNumber>0001</startingNumber>
        <autoNumberFormat>YYYY-MM-DD-{0000}</autoNumberFormat>
    </field>
</platform>

An additional <display> property can also be specified for custom fields in Custom Objects, with the values:

  • as_entered - Store and display the value as entered.
  • convert - Convert the value between time zones.

For example: 

String postXml =  "<platform>

Multi Object Lookup

An example that has Post Selection JavaScript for the Multi Object Lookup field.

Notepad.png

Note: Either object name or object ID can be used in the <lookUpObjectId> element to specify a target object. 

<platform>
    <field>
        <title>Wink lookup 1</title>
        <type>MULTI_OBJECT_LOOKUP</type>
        <tableColumn>molf1</tableColumn>
        <universalProperty>false</universalProperty>
        <multiObjectLookUpDetails>
            <includeAllObjects>false</includeAllObjects>
            <lookUpObjectId>ACCOUNT</lookUpObjectId>
            <lookUpObjectId>CONTACT</lookUpObjectId>
        </multiObjectLookUpDetails>
        <recordSelectionType>STANDARD_LOOKUP</recordSelectionType>
        <postSelectionJS>alert(\"this works\");</postSelectionJS>
        <description>...</description>
    </field>
</platform>

An example that uses a custom JSP for the lookup: 

<platform>
    <field>
        <title>Wink lookup 1</title>
        <type>MULTI_OBJECT_LOOKUP</type>
        <tableColumn>molf1</tableColumn>
        <universalProperty>false</universalProperty>
        <multiObjectLookUpDetails>
            <lookUpObjectId>ACCOUNT</lookUpObjectId>
            <lookUpObjectId>CONTACT</lookUpObjectId>
        </multiObjectLookUpDetails>
        <recordSelectionType>CUSTOM_PAGE_STR</recordSelectionType>
        <customPageId>e379c6e9dd694441b3f525fc7e0c0beb</customPageId>
        <description>...</description>
    </field>
</platform>

;Considerations:
:* <tt>includeAllObjects</tt> is true for a multi-object lookup field that can target any object in the platform. When true, the <tt>lookUpObjectId</tt> list contains an entry for every possible object.

        <extendedFieldMetaData>Extended Meta data</extendedFieldMetaData>
    </field>
</platform>
Considerations
  • If the sortFlag is true, then itemOrder elements are not needed, as the elements are sorted alphabetically by label.
  • If false, then itemOrder determines the order in which the elements are displayed.
  • If itemOrder is not present, elements are displayed in the order they are defined.
