Hello Matt, great article!!

There are any way to get the Module Type (i mean: Basic, Person, Bug...), and if this module is importable or not, and if this module have team security enabled?

And finally, there are any way to know which module is custom? i can't find any property like "isCustom": true or something like that with this request:

{{url}}/rest/v11/metadata?type_filter=modules

Thank you.

Best regards

Hi Matt, according with your introduction: "How can I know what are the allowed values are valid for a Sugar dropdown field?" I'm trying to work with this endpoint to get dropdown values of enum and multienum fields, but i can't find it through get requests.

Could i get dropdown lists information as dropdown values, using this endpoint?

Thanks.

I know this article is old, but it's really helpful. Is there a list of all the type_filter options available somewhere?

Nice article.

Is there any technique to get selected fields only?

From above, the REST api /rest/v10/metadata?type_filter=modules&module_filter=Accounts for getting all available fields under fields "section" in response object. Is it possible to get selected fields only?

For example, I want to retrieve "id" and "name" only in fields response object. For this, how can we write custom metadata function?

Nice article Matt!

Just a couple quick questions I was wondering after reading:

Would this work for custom views? In other words, if I created the file custom/modules/Accounts/clients/base/views/myview/myview.php, would the API return that as well, if I specified it?
Would it need to be structured in a certain way in order for the object to be identified by the API? If so, would I need to hook it into the MetadataManager class or something similar?

Thanks!

Richard
