Get field metadata

Your application can retrieve a list of all fields for topics, topic templates, or work teams by calling the getFieldMetadata method.

This method can be used to browse topics and choose a topic based on additional information, such as the assigned user, state, or any field, or to browse topic templates or work teams. Set the fieldContext argument to one of the enumeration values of FieldContext: TOPICS, TOPIC_ TEMPLATES, or WORKTEAMS. This returns the FieldMetadata value object with a list of field properties.

FieldMetadata getFieldMetadata(TopicsServiceContext topicsServiceContext,
  FieldContext fieldContext)
  throws InvalidArgumentException, TopicsServiceException;

The FieldContext input parameter is an enumeration for topics, topic templates, or work team values.

enum FieldContext {
 TOPICS, TOPIC_TEMPLATES, WORKTEAMS;
}

To retrieve a list of all fields for topics, topic templates, or work teams:

• FieldMetadata value object
  The FieldMetadata value object has a list of metadata of all fields in each topic, topic template, or work team. The metadata includes the field identifier, display label, type, whether the field is required, and whether the field can be presented to the user as a filter.
