    Hi @rp@n,

    There is typeId method as well which will return you EDT Id and you can use extendedTypeId2Name function to convert EDT Id to EDT name.

    extendedTypeId2Name(DictField.typeId())

    Hi @rp@n,

    Do you mean size of string field? If yes, it can be fetched from DictField.stringLen() method

    Hi @rp@n,

    You need to check Dict* classes (DictTable and DictField)
