Update a Global Picklist

Method
PUT
URI
https://{yourDomain}/networking/rest/globalPicklist/{recordId}
Request

This example uses the result of a previous GET to add a third entry to the shipping method picklist. The GET returns a list of two enumeration values, with their IDs. Including them in the update request keeps them intact. (The new list replaces the old. ID fields, if present, are ignored.)

Dynamic Search for Global Picklists

Method
GET
URI
https://{yourDomain}/networking/rest/globalPicklist?{query_parameters}
Sample Search
?fieldList=name,id&filter=name contains 'smith' & sortby='id'
(Field names are in the Fields section.)
Query Parameters
  • fieldList - A comma-separated list of field names to retrieve
  • The asterisk (*) wildcard specifies all fields
  • {fieldname} specifies an individual field (e.g. name)
(Use the REST API:field Resource to get a complete list of fields.)
  • For a Composite Object, specify {alias}.{fieldname} to select a related-record field, where the alias is defined in the Object Relationships.
  • For a Database View, specify {alias}.{fieldname}, where the object alias is defined in the Database View.
  • alias.* specifies all fields in the aliased object.
  • filter - Filtering criteria to filter the records
  • pageSize - Number of records to retrieve from the result set in order to make a "page".
  • page - Number of the logical page in a database result set. The first page is page "zero" (0).
Page zero is returned by default, so appending &pageSize=1 to your query returns a single record.
  • getTotalRecordCount returns the number of total records.
    Causes the following structure to be returned, where N is the total number of records:
<platform> 
   <status>
   <packageDeploy>
   ...
   </packageDeploy>
   </status>
   <message>
      <code>0</code>
      <description>Success</description>
   </message>

   <!-- added by the query param -->
   <totalRecordCount>N</totalRecordCount> 
</platform>
  • sortBy - Field name for primary sort
    Ex: &sortBy=name
  • sortOrder - Sort order of the primary field, either asc or desc (ascending or descending)
    Ex: &sortOrder=desc
  • sortBy2 - Field name for secondary sort
  • sortOrder2 - Sort order of the second field, either asc or desc (ascending or descending)
For more information, see: Specifying Query Parameters in REST APIs

allowSubscriberToAdd boolean Checkmark.gif If the picklist was created as a result of a subscribed package, this flag decides if subscribers will be able to add items to the Picklist.
allowSubscriberToDelete boolean Checkmark.gif If the picklist was created as a result of a subscribed package, this flag decides if subscribers will be able to delete Picklist items.
allowSubscriberToModify boolean Checkmark.gif If the picklist was created as a result of a subscribed package, this flag decides if subscribers will be able to modify Picklist items.

Enumeration Fields:

Name Type Attribute Required on Add Description Additional Information
id String Read Only Record Id
picklistLabel String Checkmark.gif User friendly label for the enumerated Picklist value. This label is displayed in the UI.
