finding required fields

i am aware that the simpro api docs list an entities required fields, but companies can also add on their own required fields like due date etc.

as per the docs, for a job the only required fields are TYPE and SITE, but in fact, if a company has customised this they may also require DUE DATE for example.

Is there a API method to enumerate a companies specific list of required attributes per entity rather than going off the api docs?

Of course you coudl brute force entity creation but preferably there is a GET method?

thanks

Hey Owen,
If additional fields such as Due Date are required when creating a job, this is usually the result of the company’s system setup (Mandatory Due Date on creation is enabled in this case), rather than something defined at the API schema level.

Currently, there isn’t a GET endpoint available to retrieve a company-specific list of required attributes for an entity via the API.

Hope this helps,
Regards
