We have asset layouts that have required fields that are generated from lists. There doesn't appear to be an endpoint for Lists in the API.
An example: We are using the network device template and have added three required fields that rely on three separate lists: network device types, manufacturers, and models. We removed the Role (dropdown legacy list type) and replaced it with network device type (list select). Manufacturers and Models could be used in other Asset Layouts so using the lists seemed to make sense.
We'd like to pull in devices from other products/services using their API and HUDUs API. The other products/services have these device types, manufacturers, models and we have used those same names in the three lists we added to hudu.
