REST API: Find work flow field in item

Is there a way to determine, which field in an item type is the workflow field? I am writing a script, which generates a report showing the workflow state as text. I could not find a way to figure out which field is the workflow field from the item type information. Any ideas?

    Hi Clemens,

    this information should be in the documenttype table (workflowFieldId). Is your script a Velocity script? Or are you using REST API?


    In Velocity you can use DocumentSource → getDocumentType → getWorkflowFieldId

    I see that the REST API endpoint GET Itemtypes/{itemTypeId} is not returning this information :-( Here you can narrow your search and limit to LOOKUP field types.

    I think we shoud submit a feature request for the cited endpoint

    Best regards,

    Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro,
    I am using the REST API. As you mention I cannot get the workflow field from the itemtype information. Feature request is the only hope.

    Cheers,

    Clemens
