Posted on by DS-15051354-0 106
i'm trying to locate the actual field name I should use in my API journal post.
 
When I send my API t add a journal line I include a json object list of names and values.
Where can I find all the field names I should use in my JSON Object..
 
Example:
 
 Dim postdataje As New JObject
  postdataje.Add(/lineNumber/, /1000/)
  postdataje.Add(/department/, /ADM/)
 
I couldn't find (/department/, /ADM/) as the correct field name.
 
Thanks

    Hi

    If your using Department as Dimension. then caption in the field may not be the same at the table. so ensure you add the field name as same in the table elements 

    Example for dimensions - "Shortcut Dimension 1"

    Thanks

    A quick suggestion is to go into one of your journals and make an entry, ensuring you include data in the fields you're interested in, but don't post it. This way, you'll have lines stored in your journal. Once you have that, you can call the API to view all the records in the journal. This should help you identify the correct field names.

    You can also see the field names by looking at the page definition.
