How it works
- When creating a DATE archive through the API or Terraform, include criteria.dateField (Terraform date_field) in the partition-field list. It consumes one of the three available slots. (high confidence) (verified as of 2024-11-13) [source]
Facts and statements
- For criteria.type DATE, the documented maximum is three partition fields total, including the required archival date field; at most two other fields can be added. (high confidence) (verified as of 2024-11-13) [source]
- For criteria.type CUSTOM, the documented maximum is two partition fields total. The DATE three-field allowance is conditional on DATE criteria, not a general allowance for every archive. (high confidence) (verified as of 2024-11-13) [source]
- An Online Archive must have at least one partition field; the documented maxima are not a requirement to populate every available field slot. (high confidence) (verified as of 2024-11-13) [source]
