Hi,
I haven't realized before that the REST Api doesn't contain any information about the database column. I agree in most cases this is of no use and would only create unnecessary traffic.
There's one use case though were one needs it. When you read the metadata information so that you can provide a configuration option in another system to start a workflow using the URL parameters:
...?com_id=1&AttText1=Value1&AttText4=Value2
In this case we need to know the database column names of the fields. Otherwise we would need to resort using the Designer Studio to get this information.
It would be fine, if this would only be added to the response of:
/api/data/v4.0/db/{dbId}/formlayout
if I missed something feel free to correct me I would be glad about it.
Thanks and best regards,
Daniel
