How to interpret appliesTo in custom field definition?

edited Jun 4, 2020 5:07PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

I am trying to build a generic client, that uses getCustomization() operation to retrieve all the custom field definitions and then associate those customizations to the record types defined in the wsdl and thus figure out the customized schema of an account. I assume you need to do this by using the appliesTo boolean values provided in the various custom field definition? However, I am having trouble making sense of which record type a particular boolean value is referring to. For example, in TransactionColumnCustomField, we have the boolean value colExpense. Which record type does this apply to? Similar question about
