Get a field definition

Open AntonioFasano opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I often find myself copy-pasting field definitions to document them in projects using them. Is it possible to get a field definition via the API?

Currently, the function fieldInfo gives a sort of field name with spaces. As I understand, this should be possible, as the API manual says:

A FieldInfoRequest returns a description for the specified fields included in the request. The request requires one or more fields specified as either a mnemonic or an alpha-numeric identifier. It is also possible to specify in the request to return the documentation as per FLDS<GO>.

However, I am not sure if this is implemented.
