DataExtDefMod

Modifies an existing data extension definition. Notice that this Mod does not allow you to change the type originally assigned to the data extension def, but it allows you to change just about everything else, such as its name and the objects it is assigned to.

IDataExtDefMod

Modifies an existing data extension definition. Notice that this Mod does not allow you to change the type originally assigned to the data extension def, but it allows you to change just about everything else, such as its name and the objects it is assigned to.
        

OwnerID

OwnerID refers to the owner of a data extension. A value of 0 means the data extension is a custom field visible and usable within the QuickBooks UI. Any other non zero value that is a valid GUID means that the data extension is a private data extension. Usually you would keep your application’s GUID confidential to prevent other applications from accessing your data extensions. But if you want to share data extensions with another application, the applications need to use the same GUID. In this case, each application could use two GUIDs, one for shared data extensions and one for confidential data extensions. (An application can have any number of GUIDs.) When you share a data extension with another application, the other application must know both the OwnerID and the DataExtName, as these together form a data extension’s unique name.
 IQBGUIDType     Y

DataExtName

The name of the data extension. If this is a custom field, DataExtName will be visible as a label in the QuickBooks user interface. Also because OwnerID and DataExtName together make the data extension unique, and because custom fields all have the same OwnerID of zero, the DataExtName must be a unique value among existing custom fields. In contrast, the DataExtName for private data extensions must be unique only for the specified OwnerID GUID.
 IQBStringType     Y

DataExtNewName

The new name for this field. Note that in the case of custom fields, DataExtNewName can run into name conflicts, because the name space of custom fields (data extensions with an OwnerID of 0) is shared by all applications.
 IQBStringType      

AssignToObjectList

This list contains one or more type enums that specify the object types that can use the data extension definition. To add a type to this list, you invoke AssignToObjectList.Add on the data extension def add object, specifying the object type, as in the following snippet that adds two types to the AssignToObjectList: MyDataExtDefAdd.AssignToObjectList.Add atoDepartment MyDataExtDefAdd.AssignToObjectList.Add atoVendor
 ENAssignToObject      

RemoveFromObjectList

Specifies the object type from which you want to remove the data extension definition. You need to specify this once in the request for each object type you want to remove the definition from.

StatusCode

A number that corresponds to a statusSeverity and statusMessage. Five status codes relate directly to signon messages: 2000, 2010, 2020, 2030, and 2040. For details about these and other statusCode values that can be returned, see the statusCode table on the Error Codes page.
 IQBIntType     Y

StatusSeverity

One of the following values: INFO The request was completed, and the results are consistent with what your application expected. WARNING The request was completed, but the results might not be consistent with what you expected. ERROR The request was not completed. No data will appear in the server’s response after the statusMessage.
 IQBStringType     Y

StatusMessage

A user-readable explanation of the success or error condition that is indicated by the statusCode. For details about the statusMessage values that can be returned, see the “Explanation” column of the statusCode table on the Error Codes page.
