laserfiche_field_definition_list
List every field definition in a Laserfiche repository to discover field types, multi-value support, required status, and allowed values for List fields. Use before authoring field-based queries or preparing field updates.
Instructions
List every field definition in the repository.
Use before authoring a field-based search query or preparing a field
update — the response tells you which fields exist, their types
(String, ShortInteger, List, Date, ...), whether they
accept multi-value, whether they're required at the repository level,
and (for List fields) the allowed values.
Independent fields and template-scoped fields are both returned.
Combine with list_template_definitions to see which fields belong
to which template.
Args:
max_results: Page size (default 25, capped by LF_MAX_RESULTS_CEILING).
skip: 0-indexed offset for pagination through large repositories.
summary_only: If True, return only {count, names} instead of the
full OData listing.
Returns: Server's raw OData listing with value (list of field
definitions). Each item includes id, name, fieldType,
isRequired, isMultiValue, listValues, defaultValue,
length, constraint.
On failure: returns {"mode": "error", "error": <slug>, ...}.
