Create fields with copied values

In cases where you want the values of a custom field to be carried forward to other entities within the same module, you can define the parameters as shown in this topic.

Use case

We will create fields for an existing field set under the risk scoring request entity. In this scenario, we want the values for this field to be copied from a field in another entity in the risk module.

Use case data	API parameter with values
The path parameter is the entity name for which you are creating the field (in this case, RISK.SCORING_REQUEST).	".../custom-fields/RISK.SCORING_REQUEST..."
In the body, we will enter a unique field ID, name, and data type. Also, we will specify the field set ID for which we are creating the field. Note: The data type must be the same as the field from which you want to copy values. The field ID and name can be different.	"fieldId": "internalCreditRating", "name": "Measures probability of default according to internal credit rating model", "fieldSetId": "CreditCheck", "valueType": "TEXT"
We will also specify whether the field is unique, required, and active.	"unique": false, "required": false, "active": true
The entity name and field ID from which the values will be copied.	"copyFromEntityName": "RISK.SCORING_DECISION", "copyFromFieldId": "internalCreditRating"

You can only copy values within the same module.
