validation_field Object |
This object is of type typedFieldObject.
This object gives the user read-only access to typed data within the field being validated. If the type of the field is date/time, a double is returned. Correspondingly, a double is returned for a double field type, and an integer returned for an integer field type.
Note that if the field is a composite with subfields, the validation_field may be null but has subfields that are non-null. It is the user's responsibility to check the subfields if needed.
