IT Glue ExtendedInstall

Summary

Creates a new field definition on an IT Glue flexible asset type by POSTing to the flexible_asset_fields endpoint, and returns the created field as a flattened record.

Inputs

• flexibleAssetTypeId (required) — ID of the flexible asset type the new field belongs to. Sent as the flexible-asset-type-id attribute.
• name (required) — Name of the field.
• kind — Field kind/type as free text (e.g. Text, Number). Omitted from the request if left empty.
• order — Display order of the field. Default 0, which is sent to the API.
• required — Whether the field is required on assets of this type. Default false, which is sent to the API.

Output shape

One item containing the created flexible asset field. Attributes are converted from kebab-case to camelCase (e.g. flexibleAssetTypeId, name, kind, order, required, nameKey where IT Glue returns them), plus id, type and any relationships.

Throws an error if IT Glue returns no data. API errors (401, 403, 429 and others) are surfaced as node errors. 429 responses are retried up to 3 times with backoff. Empty optional strings (such as an empty Kind) are not sent. Order and Required are always sent, including their default values.

Examples

Example 1: Add a required text field named 'Serial Number' to an existing asset type.

flexibleAssetTypeId=12345, name='Serial Number', kind='Text', order=1, required=true

Example 2: Add a field to each asset type coming from a previous node.

flexibleAssetTypeId={{$json.id}}, name='Notes', kind='Textbox', order=5
