Get Available Fields for a Simple Entity

Simple entities are projects, programs, resources, tasks, assets, and accounts

Use getEntityFields to retrieve the available fields for an entity. This example uses a Resource entity (entityTypeId=11), and gets all the fields that are available when a creating a resource (the mode for creating an entity is 1). The partial response shows four fields: Alternate Resource (ID), Alternatate Resource (title), Billing Rate. The full response lists all fields available when creating a resource.
