| lookup | Array An array of lookup objects. NOTE: Certain lookups allow for multiple records to be associated in a lookup, such as the To: column for an email table record. Therefore, all lookup data values use an array of lookup objects – even when the lookup column does not support more than one record reference to be added. Each lookup has the following properties: - entityType: String. The name of the table displayed in the lookup. - id: String: The string representation of the GUID value for the record displayed in the lookup. - name: String: The text representing the record to be displayed in the lookup. |
