Metadata Types

Each metadata has an associated type that defines where its value comes from and what actions can be taken on it.

TypeDescription
accountCustom metadata fields that are specific to your account.
system_referencePre-defined useful metadata fields provided by fynk.
system_autofilledFields that are automatically filled by the system in response to events, like "Signing completion date".
system_computedFields that are calculated by the system based on other metadata values. e.g. "Signing duration" is the difference between "Signing date" and "Signed date"
systemOther system-provided metadata fields.

Note that the type is distinct from the value_type, which controls which kinds of values may be stored in the field.

Entries with the multi_select value type are only included in the response if you are using API version 2026-04-02 or newer.
