Snap General Behavior
The Exact online Create Snap supports the following:
POST operation to create new data in the Exact online instance.
Display of only the create-compatible input parameter set from the upstream input Snap.
Dynamic loading of API metadata with a Parent-child dependency structure. This means that you can:
Select an API object from the API Object field to view only entities that are related to the API object and support POST queries (create operations).
And then, select an entity to view and specify values for only create-compatible parameters related to this entity, in the input schema.
