Accessing custom field added to "Contacts" module via SOAP?

[dantrainor]

Hi -

Still working on this SugarCRM SOAP interface. I like what I see so far, however, it doesn't appear to be documented too well.

Is it possible to use the SOAP interface to query data of a certain field, for a certain user, for a custom field that was added to say the "Contacts" module?

How might I do this?

Thanks!

Hi -

Still hackin' on this one, with not much luck. According to the WSDL (that's what its called, right?), I think I should be using the get_entry call. As defined, it is:

Input:
use: encoded
namespace: http://www.sugarcrm.com/sugarcrm
encodingStyle: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
message: get_entryRequest
parts:
session: xsd:string
module_name: xsd:string
id: xsd:string
select_fields: tns:select_fields

What exact is the 'id' field? Is that the ID of the particular record that I wish to retrieve? If so, how am I to get that ID prior to running get_entry, so that I can use it in this query?

In addition to that, this field is a custom field. Do the same get_entry rules apply?

Thanks!
