| history optional | string | Time for which the history of changes of the Entry's value is to be stored.

If there are more than 1000 Entry value changes within the specified time period, only 1000 most recent Entry values will be stored. If there is no "history" attribute, the history service is not enabled and historical Entry values are not stored.

| 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 "not_found" or "ok" | Status of the reference. It can have one of the following values: - "not_found": The value could not be found. "not_found" is the default value until the value in the Entry that the reference is pointing to is first updated. It can also mean that the value is set to null as the Entry that the reference is pointing to does not exist or is not accessible to the account, because there is a circular reference or because there are too many transfers between references (the maximum number of hops allowed is 32). - "ok": The Entry value is consistent with the value that the reference is pointing to. |
Timeseries attribute. It holds the name of the Timeseries table, the "measurement" attribute, and (optionally) the "dimensions" attribute.
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| measurement | string | Name of the measurement column in the given Timeseries table under which the Entry value is to be stored. |

Holds the details about the Notifications set up for the given Entry.

You can use the "timeseries" attribute if the Timeseries service is enabled for your account.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Please note that once you create an Entry where the "value" is picked up through a "reference" from another Entry, you cannot update the Entry so that it does not contain a "reference". In such case, you would need to delete the Entry and create a new Entry without the "reference" field.
