Method Community

Hi everyone,

I am new with method.me api and I have one question. I want to use JobType table. I see on admin panel the table has 10 fileds and that is ok for me. But when I sent request MethodAPIFieldListV2 I got that is available only several fields. 

Can I set all fields to be available for api?

Thanks

Hi milos,

The only fields that I can see are missing from the API are EditSequence and TimeCreated. EditSequence is only useful with regard to the sync with QB so that leaves us with TimeCreated. Is there a reason you need to access this field via the API or is there another field you're unable to see as well?

I have to tell U that I use trial version. Maybe if I use trial version I can't see all fields?

Hi milos,

It looks like you're using Method for QuickBooks Online. In this case, I don't believe that the JobType table is currently in-use. If you're planning on building a custom workflow, I'd recommend that you instead create your own custom table for this.

It's always a possibility that Intuit will implement this table in the future for QBO. It's best practice to avoid using these currently not-in-use tables for custom data, as this could cause problems with the sync should the table ever be implemented in the future. I hope this helps.

Thanks for support. I understand now.
