Finding the ID of drop down items (additional_fields) when batch import external training records

I usually just use a GET /manage/v1/user/{user_id} with a test user and just cycle through the values to make a cheat lookup table for myself.

This worked for me

 

That we have to play games and manipulate the system to create our own “cheat sheets” for something as fundamental as field mapping and valid values really frustrates me!  😫

I hear you,  but at the same time the API is designed to be doing these kinds of things programmatically so to call the details to then use elsewhere is pretty common. 

I’m just used to dealing with systems that have an accessible and accurate data dictionary.  :-(  Thanks for the help!

Yup, would be great, I seem to remember there was an idea for it that got closed. I guess I’ve never had a dictionary for an LMS before so just used to using the api to make one, would be nice though.
