Database structure plugin question

[Joeri]

I’m trying the following:

For each field I check if it a recordtype or a simple field:

If the field is a recordtype, I want to add a certain record called SearchField (a new entity i created in this component). I then set the following:

What I’m trying to achieve here is: if say a field is contact.primary_address (which is a recordtype), I then want to create a searchfield record and set the datatype (which is the plugin field DS_DataTypeSelector) to addresses…

The process then get’s an error saying the following:

[Field data_type does not accept type novulodatastructuretypes]

Is it possible to find out what the db record type is and set it?

What is the type of your data_type field?
I would think you could take a look at the Novulo Filter or Novulo Export components and see how it was set up there? They also have data_type fields.
