REST Auth API: EventTemplateContentFieldDefinition

EventTemplateContentFieldDefinition resources are metadata resources that define common types of information used when describing EventTemplate resources.

For example, a platform may have definitions for commonly used fields of type Prerequistes, Outcomes, and Testimonials. These definitions are referenced by EventContentField resources to indicate the type of the field when defining custom content.

EventTemplateContentFieldDefinition resources are used to ensure a consistent, reusable set of fields are used when describing all EventTemplates within a platform.
