[Vtigercrm-developers] Lazy question on webservices.

[Alan Lord]

I need to create/update a module's fields using webservices when they 
are displaytype 2. Or I need a suitable alternative to achieve the same 
result...

My tests show that using the Webservices Create api, the routine works 
(in that it doesn't error and new records are created), but the fields 
with displaytype=2 show as empty after the routine has run and in the db 
the fields are null.

Basically, we have a scenario where quite a lot of data is being sucked 
in and regularly updated from an external system and is there just for 
searching and analysing, but must not be edited. I don't want to write 
directly to the db because, amongst other things, we would bypass 
triggering Workflows...

TIA
