    Good afternoon.

    I'll describe the problem.

    1. I am creating a form MyNewForm.

    2. I create the Short_Text_Basic field through the Edit Form menu in the Add Form Element tab.

    3. I create the Short_Text_Column field in the table view menu. Via the Add button (Add a New Column)

    For requests via API https://eu-api.jotform.com/form/241133344926049/questions

    I get metadata about 3 fields 1.heading 2.submit and 3. short_text_basic . But there is no short_text_column field.

    When requesting to receive data https://eu-api.jotform.com/form/241133344926049/submissions

    I already receive an answers object with 4 fields. where there is a short_text_column with its value.

     Please tell me is it possible to get all the information about the question fields through the API? Maybe there is some parameter or way to find out about the existence of such a column. Since when reading data, my application does not know that the user has such a field in the form and what type it is.

    Thanks a lot. Best regards, Kirill.

    Hi Kirill,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. The API for forms does not include the columns created in Tables, which is the expected result, as you have mentioned. While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently available, rest assured we’re always working to add new services and features to Jotform. I've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. When or if it's implemented depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.
