The following attributes are common to all field types:

  • type. The type attribute of every field element represents the type of field as documented in the second column of the Field-Specific Attributes table. The value is an integer representation of the type as reported within the Application Builder.
  • createDate. The createDate attribute shows when the field's value was first entered. The value of the attribute is shown in the MM/DD/YYY HH:MM:SS AM or PM format, for example, 10/15/2003 4:19:04 PM.
  • updateDate. The updateDate attribute shows when the field's value was last modified. The value of the attribute is shown in the MM/DD/YYY HH:MM:SS AM or PM format, for example, 11/24/2003 8:11:23 AM.
  • createLogin. The createLogin attribute shows the userId of the user who created the record. The value of the attribute is an integer, for example, 791.
  • updateLogin. The updateLogin attribute shows the userId of the user who last modified the field. The value of the attribute is an integer, for example, 1004.
