Support is available for inserting hierarchical data into tables or web service import set tables. The hierarchical data in the Insert API is automatically mapped to related records of the targeted table.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Procedure

Create and set the property glide.web_service.hierarchical to true.
The client of the API can also override this value by invoking the SOAP web service with the URL parameter hierarchical=true.

Example

For example, when a related list is created for the incident table called u_custom_comments:

Figure 1. Hierarchical Incident

And u_comment_items is created as a related list for u_custom_comments:

Figure 2. Hierarchical Custom Comments
