Mandatory Property when Creating an Object Through API

[dmattauch]

Hi,

I have a custom object that i created in hubspot, called "shops"

I create shops through the API.

I went into hubspot and put some properties mandatory for "shop" creation.

But its only working when creating a shop manually in hubspot.

Is there a way to make properties mandatory when creating a shop through API?

Many thanks

David

Hi @dmattauch ,

In your API calling function you can check the body that either it have the required mandatory fields or not , and proceed accordingly.

Hope this helps!

Hey @Kevin-C thanks for the answer.

Yes but once the object created, is there a way to modify mandatory properties? Or do i need to delete the object and re-create it again?

Thanks

Hey @dmattauch 

I believe you can create new required properties, but to remove any property you must make sure that the property is not being used by any object instances.

Whenever I run into this, say I set  up the object schema incorrectly I typically remove everything and start from scratch.

Hey @dmattauch 

I haven't dug into this too deep. But if you're creating records via an API, with a serverless or other function you could check that the body conatinas the required property "manually" before subitting to the api.
