Methods on the typedFieldObject

When using Python validation rules, the following methods on the typedFieldObject give you read-only access to typed data within the field being validated. If the type of the field is date/time, a double is returned. Correspondingly, a double is returned for a double field type, and an integer returned for an integer field type.

The typedFieldObject behaves differently between parser engines. For details, see validation_field Object.

The following methods are available for use:

MethodDescription
count_of_subfield()Returns count of subfields.
valueThe typed contents of the field.
is_null()Returns true if the field is null.
count_of_repeat()Returns count of repeating fields.
repeat_field(repeatIndex)Returns a repeated field as a typedFieldObject.
subfield(subfieldIndex)Returns a subfield as a typedFieldObject.
