Retrieving of custom field definitions for specific record/transaction type
We use SuiteTalk API (SOAP) to discover custom record/transaction types and custom fields.
We need to discover custom fields definitions for particular record/transaction type. For instance, we would like to know which custom fields are defined for 'Opportunity' record type.
Currently, we have to request all custom fields for all customization types (entityCustomField, transactionBodyCustomField etc.) and then for each custom field definition we check whether it is applicable to particular record type.
Retrieving of all custom fields for all customization types takes long time. Is there a way to request custom field definitions for specific record types, f.x. for Customer only ?
