Duplicate check /required fields when creating a record via API

Hello Francesca Shiekh,

Before performing your POST to the rest/v10/<modules>/ end point to create your entry you can perform a POST to the rest/v10/<modules>/duplicateCheck endpoint to launch a duplicate check. It returns a list of entries which is empty if any duplicate entries are find or with the result of the duplicate check.

Hope that help,

Nothing buit in by default.

The business rules are managed by the client of the API and the API perform the action asked only (save, update, delete, etc). By exemple you can have some dependencies SetRequired with condition, etc.

If you need to retrieve this information from rest API you need to use the metadata endpoint and check the $metadata[<modules]['fields'] which contains the fields definition with more information than the previous Sugar 6 endpoint get_module_fields
