create-object-type

To create a NovaDB object type, you provision a type with typeRef=0, optionally create attribute objects with typeRef=10, build a form with typeRef=50, and link the form to the type using deterministic CMS API calls with proper ObjRef ordering.

Linking a form to a NovaDB object type involves creating the form object, adding attribute ObjRef entries with correct sortReverse multi-value ordering, and updating the type to reference the form for its create and detail views.

Yes, when creating attribute definition objects with typeRef=10 in NovaDB CMS, you can specify data types, set required flags, and define allowed types using CmsValue entries for attribute metadata.

Attribute reference ordering issues occur when proper ObjRef multi-value ordering is not applied; you must use the sortReverse parameter during the novadb_cms_update_objects call to ensure correct sequence.

Yes, confirming object creation with a fetch call using novadb_cms_get_object is required to verify that the type, attributes, and form linkage were successfully committed to the branch.

The best way to provision a domain entity in NovaDB is using a coordinated workflow that creates the type with localized CmsValue names and descriptions, provisions attributes, and links an editor form in one process.
