New Data qualities API endpoint for assigning types to dataset fields
The Data qualities API adds the
PUT /api/data-governance/data-qualities/fields-structures endpoint, which lets you assign a standard or semantic type
to one or more fields in a dataset. Assigning types programmatically lets you correct or standardize how Qlik Cloud
interprets fields without manually updating each field in the dataset, for example as part of a data onboarding
pipeline.
The request body contains the datasetId of the target dataset and a fields array. Each item in the array has the
field name and a type object. Set type.kind to STANDARD or SEMANTIC. For a semantic type, set
type.semanticTypeId to the ID of the semantic type. For a standard type, set type.name. For date and time fields,
also set type.precision.
The endpoint performs a partial update. It changes only the fields in the request, and any field that isn’t included keeps its current assigned type.
To manage semantic types, see the Semantic types API.
