  • Handle Workday-specific field types

​
Workday-Specific Features

​
SOAP API Integration

Workday uses SOAP protocol rather than REST. The passthrough URL points to /passthrough/workday/soap for custom operations.

​
Workday Library

Includes workday_library module for:
  • Application custom field retrieval
  • Field value updates via SOAP
  • Workday-specific data formatting

​
Custom Application Fields

Enhanced implementation for application custom fields: 
async def _get_application_custom_fields()
async def _update_application_custom_fields(application, updates)
Uses Workday library to properly format requests and parse responses from Workday’s SOAP API.

​
Field Type Mappings

Comprehensive field type mappings for Workday’s custom field system:
  • Boolean types (boolean, checkbox)
  • String types (text, textarea, longtext, url, email, phone)
  • Numeric types (number, integer, decimal, currency)
  • Date types (date, datetime, timestamp)
  • Select types (select, dropdown, picklist, multiselect)

​
Implementation Notes

​
Data Models

  • WorkdayJob - Job model with Workday-specific fields
  • Custom field value structures for SOAP compatibility

​
Error Handling

Includes suppression of non-critical errors in certain operations using contextlib.suppress for robustness.
