  Returns archivedFields in the type response.
• fields(optional): string
  This parameter is used to control the returned fields for a type. This parameter accepts a comma-separated list of field names.

  • archivedFields
  • relationships
  • connectorInfos

  Users can select any field to be returned. Any incorrect or invalid field name given in the query will result in an error.
  
  Example: ?fields=name
  This will return only the name and links of the type.
  

  Default Value: id,name,displayName,apiName,description,typeCategory,createdBy,createdDate,updatedBy,updatedDate,fields,properties,allowedFileTypes,roleName,layoutMapping,inplacePreview,allowedActions,archivedFields,relationships,connectorInfos,jobToken,renditionPolicies
