Adding Fields Using REST APIs

The object-admin service provides REST APIs for performing CRUD operations on object definitions, such as adding fields. Here you’ll use these APIs to add business and credit reference fields to the Distributor Application object.

Download and unzip the resources for this exercise.

curl https://resources.learn.liferay.com/courses/latest/en/application-development/modeling-data-structures/liferay-p6k3.zip -O

unzip liferay-p6k3.zip

This .zip file includes shell scripts that call the object-admin REST APIs.

Navigate to liferay-p6k3/curl.
```
cd liferay-p6k3/curl
```

Run this script to create fields for storing business information:

./ObjectField_POST_BusinessDetails_ByExternalReferenceCode.sh

Field Name	Type
`businessName`	Text
`businessWebsite`	Text
`businessEstablishedDate`	Date
`businessEmployeeNumber`	Integer

`businessPhoneNumber`	Text
`businessAddressLineOne`	Text
`businessAddressLineTwo`	Text

When finished, the Distributor Application should have 48 fields.

The Distributor Application object should have 48 fields.

Great! These fields can help Delectable Bonsai collect the data they need for evaluating and vetting each applicant in compliance with KYC policies and AML laws.

Now the object definition needs to collect information to assess the business value of each potential partnership.
