Form fields format

The form field is described by the JSON object, which contains a unique field number, field name, type, current value, and additional information about the filling rules.

{
  "id": 15,
  "name": "Summary",
  "type": "text",
  "value": "Printer does not print",
  "info": {
    "immutable_step": 1,
    "required_step": 1
  }
}

Depending on the method being called, only some properties are passed and returned:

* You must specify at least one of these parameters

Field Types and Examples

There are two types of fields: primitive and composite. Primitive types take the value of standard data types (string, number, date) as a field value. Composite types take a JSON object.

Primitive types

"value": 1365.27

"value": 157.2134

"value": "2017-03-16"

"value": "17:26"

"value": "checked"

"value": "2017-03-16T14:53:23Z"

"value": "consumer@mycompany.com"

"value": "unchecked"

"value": 1

"value": "open"

"value": "2017-03-16T14:53:23Z"

Additional field information

The info object can contain two keys for every field type:

• required_step — indicates the step number where the field becomes required for filling.
• immutable_step — indicates the step number from which the user can't change the field value. Step numbering begins with 1.

Also, the info object can contain information about user_id from the Code field type and the fact that the field is included in the title of the form.

In addition to the listed keys, the info object may contain one of the additional keys, depending on the field type:

"options": [
  {
    "choice_id": 0,
    "choice_value": "Not Set"
  },
