# ApiFieldName

The parameters `SourceFieldName`, `ApiFieldName`, and `ApiFieldType` map elements in the XML supplied to the update action to fields in Extended ECM. These parameters accept comma-separated lists of values, and each parameter must have the same number of values. Alternatively, you can use numbered parameters each with a single value.

- `SourceFieldName` specifies the name of an element in the update XML, to use for updating a field in Extended ECM.
- `ApiFieldName` specifies the name of the field in the Extended ECM API.
- `ApiFieldType` specifies the type of the field - one of `String`, `Boolean`, `Integer`, or `JSON`.

For example, with the following configuration:

    SourceFieldName0="description"
    ApiFieldName0="description"
    ApiFieldType0="String"

...you can supply the following XML to the `IdentifiersXML` parameter of the update action:

    <IdentifiersXML>
      <identifier value="AUTN_IDENTIFIER_OF_DOCUMENT_TO_UPDATE">
        <xmlmetadata>
          <description>The new description</description>
        </xmlmetadata>
      </identifier>
    </IdentifiersXML>

The connector then updates the "description" field through the OpenText ECM API.

Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks
