This action provides a list of all the available fields to the user in a specific order that is used by the layout for updating existing issues within ExtraView. Most typically this script is used to provide a list of fields and their titles for inclusion in a script that is used to update an existing record within ExtraView’s database. This action is used as a basis of the CLI command evupdate. Note that all of ExtraView’s security is in force and an individual user will only see the fields to which he has access. In addition, there is no difference in the way that User Defined Fields (UDF’s) are shown compared to other fields. UDF’s are handled in a seamless way within the API.
