Field definitions level

Application management : Tools : REST API : Basic features : User interface : Field definitions level

Individual fields can be removed from a definition with the Delete action as long as the Definition is in Edit mode. This is not allowed any more after the Definition has been published.

The General tab of a field definition holds information of the linked BO definition, the audit information, and everything else there is to know about it. If this field is defined as a foreign key in the database, also a reference can be set to the BO definition, which then holds the respective primary key. An example of how to define such a reference can be found in the section Multi-level definition.

Field	Description
System code	Displays the system code of the selected field.
REST API configuration ID	Displays the configuration ID of the selected field.
Business object field definition	Displays the name of the selected field.
Reference as	For reference fields only, indicate whether this field should act as a reference to another business object definition or not: • PRIMARYKEY (no reference) • RESTAPIDEFINITION (active reference) • LOOKUP When using LOOKUP, it is possible to return a description instead of a code.
Reference to REST API definition	For a reference field - which is a reference to another BO - that business object definition has to be selected here.
