twin
required		 string path Twin UUID.
ledger
required*		 string path Ledger UUID.
value
optional**		 valid JSON data type body User-defined value of the Entry.
visibility
optional**		 string body Visibility of the Entry. If the "visibility" of an Entry is null, the Entry is private. Private Entries are only visible to users of the account that owns the Ledger.

**

  • Any optional parameters not provided in the request will be left unchanged.
  • Any optional parameters provided in the request will replace current parameters.
  • Operations replacing any current "visibility", "timeseries", or "publish" parameters with values equal to current parameter values will result in an update to the "entry_updated_ts" timestamp.
  • Operations replacing the value of the current "value" parameter with the same value will result in an update to the "value_changed_ts" timestamp.

***

If there is no "history" parameter in the request, no changed will be made to the History service.
If the "history" parameter value is replaced with value equal to current parameter value, the update will result in an update to the "entry_updated_ts" timestamp.

If "history" is set to "INF", the most recent 1000 historical Entry values will be stored for the Entry.
If "history" is set to a time period (e.g., days, weeks, months), the historical Entry values will be stored for the given time period subject to the maximum number of history records limit (1000 per Entry).

Attribute Type Description
source string, composed of {twin} (Twin UUID), {ledger} (Ledger UUID)/ Name of the Entry in the Ledger* Source path to the value that we want the Entry to reference.
status enum, value is "created", "ok", "not_found", "loop_detected" or "too_many_hops" Status of the reference. It can have one of the following values:

- "ok": The Entry value is consistent with the value that the reference is pointing to.
- "not_found": The value could not be found.
- "loop_detected": The Entry is not accessible to the account because of a circular reference.
