Custom Field (Object)

Platform administrators can define segment and text custom fields. A segment CF applies to the segment as a whole, a text CF is attached to a specific language of a segment.

The CFs are defined in Wordbee Translator by clicking on "Settings" then "Custom fields" and finally "Segments":

The rights object includes the custom fields accessible to the user in a scope.

 

PROPERTIES

The JSON object has these properties:

 

customFieldId

Unique identifier of custom field

int
type

The type of the custom field. Options are:

  • String
  • Combo
  • ComboEditable
  • ComboMultiSelect
  • Hyperlink
  • Image
  • Checkbox

titleThe name of the custom fieldstring
descThe description of the custom fieldstring
domainThe object to which the field is attached. With segments/texts this always is "Segment"string
tmxIf the field is exported as part of a TMX, this is the name given to the property.string
enabledIndicates if the custom field is enabled or not.bool
mandatoryTrue if the custom field value must be supplied. In some places in the system an object cannot be saved as long as the value is left empty. This field is used with certain field types only.bool
options

string[]
maxMax length of value. Used with field types "String", "Hyperlink" and "ComboEditable"int
rowsUsed with field "String". The box shown for editing the field is rendered with this number of rows.int
splitchar

An optional character used with controls of type "Select" only. If specified, then the UI should render not one picklist but two cascading picklists. The character is used to split the value into two portions to populate the two lists.

This is used with custom fields in Wordbee. The picklist custom field permits to specify a split character:


canEditTells if the connected user can edit values for this field. This is a general access right and may be revoked for specific objects. For example, if a segment is locked, the user cannot edit any data including labels.bool
