Overview

This node operation creates a new Flexible Asset Field in the IT Glue system. It is useful for users who want to define custom fields for flexible asset types, allowing them to extend asset data with specific attributes such as text, number, date, checkbox, select, tag, or textbox fields. For example, a user might create a custom field named "Warranty Expiry Date" of type "Date" for a flexible asset type representing hardware assets.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new flexible asset field named 'Serial Number' of type 'Text' for a specific flexible asset type ID.
2. Add a checkbox field named 'Is Under Maintenance' to track maintenance status for flexible assets.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the created flexible asset field.
• name - The name of the created flexible asset field.
• flexibleAssetTypeId - The ID of the flexible asset type this field belongs to.
• fieldType - The type of the created field.

Dependencies

• IT Glue API access with appropriate credentials

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the Flexible Asset Type ID provided is valid and exists in the IT Glue system; otherwise, the creation will fail.
• Verify that all required fields (Name, Flexible Asset Type ID, Field Type) are provided and correctly formatted.
• Check API credentials and permissions to confirm the node has rights to create flexible asset fields.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid resource IDs, or missing required parameters. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, input data, and API access rights.
