Return Data from API - Full Data Type Object

[chris.anderson]

Problem: When returning data from a backend workflow (via API connector), I’m unable to choose the full data type object in the front end and instead I’m only given the option to choose the fields within the data type.

Backend
Table / Data type: Teams
Return data from API: Key = team of type Teams based on a search returning first item (screenshot)

Initialization:
“team” object present in response (screenshot)

Frontend
Get data from API does not list an option to choose the full “team” object, which I need to match to the “team” type entry when creating a new data entry. Instead, it only lists the fields inside the object which obviously don’t match the team type and nor can I use the “unique ID”. I also cannot run any searches on the front end for security purposes.

Please help.

@georgecollier is this something you have any experience or advice on given your post on using the App Connector or even just from a security point of view?

This page is public (no login needed, intentionally) to view a user profile. “Current Page User” requires a privacy rule which allows searches and because I don’t want an “Everyone else” rule for this or a temporary user dependent on cookies, I need to call my own API via the backend and return the user object (with fields restricted by privacy rules).
